Tom Collins, a rising talent from Bagillt, United Kingdom, has released his latest track, "Halfway Boys," which is a powerful addition to his burgeoning catalog. Collins, known for his heartfelt lyricism and dynamic indie rock sound, combines alt-rock pop and melodic pop-rock influences, similar to musicians such as Sam Fender and Catfish and the Bottlemen. His music is more than just a demonstration of skill; it also serves as a platform to discuss urgent social issues, as evidenced by past works such as "Titanic," "Leaders," and "Barricades."
"Halfway Boys" looks into the harsh reality of life in disadvantaged neighborhoods, focusing on subjects such as poverty, addiction, and neglect. The song's sorrowful lyrics, "He won't go to school today, surrounded by class A's," give a harsh image of the hardships confronting the younger generation.
The song's urgent message is reinforced by its pounding rock beat, which alternates with more contemplative, slower passages. Produced by Alex Quinn, noted for his work with The Royston Club and SPINN, "Halfway Boys" exemplifies Collins' unwavering songwriting style.
Tom Collins' music has gained popularity, receiving exposure on BBC Radio Merseyside and BBC Radio Wales, and he has performed at historic locations such as The Cavern Club and Night & Day Cafe. His engagement in a BBC Wales documentary about the North Wales music scene, as well as his appearance on ITV's The Voice UK, demonstrate his expanding influence. "Halfway Boys" is more than just a song; it's a story that urgently has to be told, reflecting the current socioeconomic situation and its implications for the future.
