Norwich based Other Half (consisting of Cal, Alfie and Soapy) met through a mutual love of the UK DIY punk scene, driving a really long way to shout at people and (broadly) vegan slop.
The band released their debut album, Big Twenty, via Venn Records (Gallows, Bob Vylan, Marmozets & more) in 2020. A sprawling, violent slice - of - life, the release garnered praise from various outlets, with The Line Of Best Fit calling Big Twenty’s vivid world ‘volatile and dark, but also enthralling to hear’.
They are set to release their second album, Soft Action, via Big Scary Monsters (American Football, Cursive, The Get Up Kids, Meat Wave), in December 2022. The album finds Other Half distilling the sneering punk and sardonic storytelling that characteris ed their first album, whilst amplifying the most melodic and dissonant parts of their sound. The discordant squall of Sonic Youth, the ragged hooks of Pixies and the searing intensity of bands like Converge, all underpinned with the wiry vocal interplay of singers Cal and Soapy.
Live, the band draw from the energy of post-hardcore luminaries like Drive Like Jehu and Fugazi whilst never straying too far from the hooks of bands like Superchunk and Les Say Fav.
“A murky encapsulation of some of the uglier features of nightlife” - CLASH
“Other Half’s world is volatile and dark, but also enthralling to hear” - The Line of Best Fit
“Rings clear with violent intent and purpose” - 3 Songs & Out
“It’s easy to write a record that has all of the tropes of ‘90s post-hardcore - less so to write a record that has the energy, sincerity, and experimental approaches of the best of it. Kudos to the UK’s Other Half” - Bandcamp
