I came across HalfLip on MySpace. We (the Puppet Staff) maintain a profile there so as to browse through thousands of musicians every month, looking for some to feature on this site. At any rate, after only a few minutes of listening to the music that this band has uploaded, I found myself intrigued. In the end, I ended up listening to every one of the six songs the group has uploaded to their page.
Right off the bat, you can identify the bands that have inspired HalfLip. Sonic shadows of Linkin Park and Rage Against the Machine are cast upon the ears almost at once. Despite this, however, the band manages to still, somehow, pull off its own, unique sound. The vocals, courtesy of Mozez Flowz (Eric Hogan), are great. There’s enough emotion and power in his voice to grab the listener’s attention, commanding you to pay attention to what he’s going on about. Another nice trait about HalfLip is that while they’re certainly heavy on the guitars, they don’t overdue it. Too many of the bands we hear, in my opinion, dilute their music by heaping on way to much guitar, not unlike pouring too much milk on a bowl of Cheerios.
Overall, HalfLip is certainly a band worth paying attention to. Their sound, while reminiscent of several other bands, is still unique enough to raise them above all of the rest of the noise. The music is polished, yet still rough enough to slam to. I’d love to hear/see more of HalfLip (something I just may be able to do, as they’re from the same corner of the world as me…) and would highly recomend that you take a few minutes out of your day and visit their website so you can hear them for yourselves. G’head. It’s okay. All for now.

Bio
"Halflip" comes from different bands from pa, while sitting in Mozez's home studio just writing and recording songs.
They might of all lived in different parts of PA. but, growing up they all went to the same high school and at one point or another were in bands together Dan and Mozez(Eric Hogan) grew up playing in and out of bands all through out school. While Mo was playing with another band, then those bands parted with everyone going there separate ways. Mozez went towards more of a hip hop vibe "D.O.L" with paul producing the beats for d.o.l. and curt would play for "lost in doubt" and Dan, steve and Mo picked up and started a hardcore band named "Fleshwound" and recruted ben from a band called g.b.a ,as Mozez continued year after year working on "D.O.L" and "The Deadly Venom",and curt would keep going with "l.i.d", "Fleshwound" was slowly falling apart then Dan and Mo and steve went on to start a band called "After Autumn", "After Autumn" went well for a few years then would fizz out eventually.
Mo,Dan and steve would part there ways joining different bands. Dan and ben went to "Silencelost" and Mo would go to "The Ninth Plague" steve went to "hate by design" as Mozez was holding strong with "The Deadly Venom"....and paul went to fullsail school for recording arts ,
and now they have all come together to create what they all had visioned in there heads...and thats "Halflip"
"Halflip" wants to send a different message. So they decide to see how far the "Halflip" project would take them and how many ears would listen to what they have to say. So listen close.......
