"The HalShack RockCast has become a breath of fresh air to what had become a rather flaccid arena for what today’s FM radio plays, which can be nothing short of the same female (or male) singers practicing their vocal exercises over a producer’s loops or some recycled or borrowed beat that people had long forgotten."
"Hal brings you the unpolished gems of what can (and will) be actual future storytellers brought to you via FM radio."
Brandon Barnes is a former broadcaster, producer and DJ for 1230AM WMFR, 99.5FM WMAG and 98.3FM WTHP in the Piedmont-Triad, North Carolina metropolitan market.

Its that time again! Time for more lessons in our ABC's!
Its vol 2 of my eclectic series where we focus on just about every act that has ever been on the Halshack!
Vol. 2 (D-G) with one "C" to decree because I accidentally overlooked this cutie of a "Cooksey" with a sea of potential just oozing from her adorable smile and infectious personality. She just released a new song too about her recent breakup that evidently shes had an easy time with, she cant even remember his name or came down with a sudden case of amnesia..lol
"Whats his name" makes its worldwide debut here on the Halshack. See, everything works out for a reason and Im living proof of that..lol There's some more new tunes in this show as well as tracks barely heard. As always its fun interesting and you never know what you'll hear next song.
Its a music journey that only I can offer. Remember these shows have no flow. Its alpha order so you might get your "earwaves" discombobulated but at least its fun while doing it..lol
Find my shows all over the world on most every major music outlet!
New AMAZON MUSIC exclusive series coming soon!

Howdy folks!! I'm pre-planning shows again! I usually don't do that. I sort of "wing it" or look for life cues and well ironically this one cue I got recently to do this show turned into a whole series of the next 8 bonus shows.
So here we go!! Its one song from mostly all 110 (roughly) artists that have been on my show over the course of the past 6 years. Is it their best work? Maybe, maybe not, I dont play the same songs over and over so the listener gets burnt out! I feature all the great tunes from each artist over several different episodes.
So these may or may not be the most shining example of the band or it may be a new tune they released or one I never got to in their library. Every show is different and every show gleams with musical harmony and bliss! Thats my reputation!! Enjoy these different acts.
Its not my usual "flow" that I create. Its in alphabetical order so its a mixed bag of music mayhem and fun that only my playlist and connections can offer!! Its a one of kind unique collection of potential hits from a one of a kind unique guy!!
We just got fired up on AMAZON MUSIC!! (as of 6pm on 9/21 this show has not been uploaded on Amazon yet)
Go find us there too along with all the other music services and radio stations and my website that support the show!!

Ep 19.5 (Stay Home, Don't Roam) Apr 2020 ....bonus show, music only
A year ago today I left for Nashville, TN to start a clandestine journey into growing a colossal music juggernaut out some fine talented indie bands from the "backwoods" and "unknowns" of the world!! We have succeeded in building the coolest reputation for outstanding talent! Next step...conquer! We need investors. Start building a membership to offer exclusive content for the members! Build the base we can pay the staff and the bands!! I like this plan! Maybe you will too! Drop me a line and let me know what you think! Thanks so much! Now to business at hand..lol
HOWDY PARTNERS!! HOW YA'LL DOIN'? (as we say here in the south..lol) What ya'll doin' all sitting at home like that? Act like you're saving the world or somethin' by chillin' on your keester or mowin' the grass!..lol Oh wait YOU ARE SAVING THE WORLD! THANKS SO MUCH for staying home and staying alive! ah ah ah ah Staying Aliiivvveee...oh sorry just having a little BEE GEES fun! ..lol So while your cooped up at home and need some cool music to get you through your day then look no further than this "virus" free eargasm.
The CORONA VIRUS might have us all preoccupied at the moment but we all need music to turn too during these dark and uncertain times. I got a "cue" from Dave Cruttendan (owner of Discover Unsigned in the UK) from his facebook post about putting together a "hit" song virus playlist and well I was already strumming my brain on this idea anyway. Thanks Dave for the push as well as the new video channel SHACKVIDS was inspired by Dave as well yet I was already on this in my brain...lol I think Dave and I are just cut from the same cloth and on the same page. He's a bright dude and a good friend who helps so much with the indie music scene in the UK. So does Tizz Shearer too over at XRP!! You guys are the best!!
SO these song titles all have to do with some "Quarantine Blues" which was going to be the original name but I just thought that was too dark and its not all dark music. Anyway the song titles as usual were perfectly timed for yet another world event. These were the logical choices for song titles and for the rotation timing of most of these tracks AAANNDDD it perfectly fits with today's world theme. I cant make this stuff up folks.. I swear!
I pick songs based on rotation and theme then I start forming the play patterns by flow and genre, the kicker is the songs are the logical choice for that show but the songs have not been played recently or hardly at all or it was just time to kick that one back out again. Its just eerie and the subject matter will fit the timing. I don't plan this stuff folks. Lately Ive been taking cues from my show and life and just roll with it and its panning out to be a blast!!
Song Titles..I was gonna make a story with them but I think alot of this is just too damn funny and "more to make light heart of our lockdown blues" not to make light of the travesty that has destroyed so many lives and family members hearts. HALSHACK is very sorry for your loss if any of my listeners have been affected by Covid-19. My prayers go out to you and your loved ones.
Have fun folks! You can find all my shows at ROCKCASTS page or any music service except for SPOTIFY.

HAPPY ST. PATTIES DAY!! Not very happy I know with this invisible enemy lurking around. Lets trade those frowns for a crown and let the KINGS of indie music be heard!....Just kidding..lol, but they are all really great bands!! Just listen for yourself and you will agree!
In this episode you will hear all bands and artists that have had a review from our excellent staff of professional bloggers and former major record label scouts! Its ep 19.5 (Crewsin' and Musin')
Well folks the "WHISTLE KING" has blown his siren that everyone needs to "STAND BACK" and take a long hard look at our lives because "EVERYTHING WILL CHANGE". So "WHILE WE WAIT" for our meds to be restocked and a vaccine to be generated lets all have some "VITAMIN K" to get the body healthy again so we can get this "PRICELESS" world moving again after the virus has run its course. We will all need to "GET UP" off the couch from watching Netflix and Disney+ as well as rebound out of video game la-la land once life gets back to normal, whatever the new normal will be. There should be plenty of "GASOLINE" around for your trip back to work and your errands too. Will all be feeling "BETTER OFF" in the future not feeling like this is a "PLACE I WAS BEFORE" all this started so we can be prepared if it returns. more to this story later....
Just wanted to get this published!

NEW MUSIC AND NEW BAND EXPLOSION!!
Brand new Season 3 reboot pt2!!!
Ep 19 (Precious Hearts)
New retooled version 2 (3-5-20) get it now! Cleaned up my audio, added a new song, "enhanced" the audio for Monster, fixed an issue with Secret Social Club and the band Asking Alexandria that was a misunderstanding from a bio I read. I cut 5 mins of my banter to streamline the show, added a couple small bits I missed and polished it off with sped up breaks. Its a whole new show in essence and the show it should have been to begin with!! Have fun!
Well folks, its still February (the month of LOVE) for one last day but its never too late to spread the message of music and good vibes. This show was meant to be out before cupid flung his arrow but it didn't work out and as you listen to the show you will know why. Things had to play out the way they did for some very important music and new bands to make their way on to my radar literally up until the day (Feb 28th) when I started recording.
AIRPORT IMPRESSIONS has a world premiere of their brand new stellar track "Why are We Here" (just released on the 28th???...crazy!!) on this episode as well as a double mystery spotlight featuring 2 different bands. We got tons of new rock bands including one that just dropped their new track this week! Heck yeah!! Their name is SECRET SOCIAL CLUB!
SHOW CORRECTION!! I made a remark in the show that a former member of Asking Alexandria is in SECRET SOCIAL CLUB. Well thats not true, they are friends and he helped put this band together but hes not in it, Their BIO was confusing and it wasnt clear on that subject. I feel very ashamed of this mistake.
We got new rock rock South Carolina and Georgia as well as new tracks from some of our returning faves and new artists as well making their debut on this 2 hour HALSHACKGANZA!!
So much great news!! DEEZER will be adding my show hopefully soon and a new radio station from the US has found me on their horizon. 102.9 The Blazing Rock FM will soon be airing the Shack!!
Thanks so much! Catch the bonus ep 19.5 "Music is Love"!!

Shackstars series (The Scars of Triton) Jan 2020
(Best of power rock bands Triton and Scars Remain) from Charlotte NC.
These fellas have been important part of the Halshack early on in my career! I was extremely pleased to have this camp in my corner. Several years ago Triton released full digital/cd album "First Orbit". After a few years of touring the band hit a HUGE snag in the production of their 2nd release and the band went on hiatus. Chris Rich singer landed an important new job and Jim Clardy drummer went to drum for BUSH cover band "GLYCERINE". Just saw them in Greensboro recently at Welcome to Grungeboro at the Blind Tiger!
In the meantime, the guitarist Kyle Spidel and bassist Andy Allen found a couple more great musicians to take up the reigns and form another fantastic harder more metal/rock band named Scars Remain. Scars has been tearing it up and playing some big festivals and garnering radio play. Fast forward Summer 2019 and finally "Last Orbit" was finished and ready for release and Triton is back in business.
The cd is JUST stellar and in my opinion these 2 rock bands are the best bands to EVER come out of NC. PRISON BREAK is one of the best rock songs I've heard in my life! TRUTH!! Look for them sometime this year to share the headline stage with Spaceship Days at my first ever SHACKFEST in High Point, NC at AFTER HOURS CLUB!
Stay tuned to here for all the details on the Shackfest!!

Its POPIFY 5 (Spotify Exclusive)!! Only the best music makes a Popify episode and this may be the best one yet! Certainly the longest and chocked full of pop infused styles across several different genres. I will not double up on songs in these shows. Each Popify episode contains exclusive music that can only be heard in these episodes. Somewhere in each show there is a hidden gem or 2 or 3 that you will only find in this series and no where else in my podcast feed shows. Very rarely will you even hear a same artist in this series.
Well folks "In Spite of It All" we made it!! 5 years down over 100 artists, over 50 episodes including 6 Spotify exclusive shows. Over 400 individual potential hit songs have been played or aired! Over 70k subscribers and growing including plays and broadcasts from over 70 major US markets and over 70 countries have enjoyed the Halshack universe and musical empire. This is how "Legends Are Made" folks! Start BIG with a grass roots movement by not getting involved with "Bad Company" and finding good people to help grow your plight!
"Schools Out" for the winter break and while everyone is enjoying their "Fortunes" of Christmas gifts and holiday cheer, you should not take for granted your "Beautiful Life". "I Cant Be" your property but I can be your good time in the car and "Everything Will Be Alright" with the Halshack in tow as you have "No Walls" around you in search of "Something More" from your musical experience.
Its now "Time" for the show to expand and open its doors for business as we ride the "Rising Tide" for the "Coming Attraction" that has not yet shown "Who" that person is that will help me grow to the next level whether it be a new woman in my life or a new partner. I shall have "Faith" that this new partnership or love interest or both will be a match made in Heaven as I hope we "Belong Together" and won't be feeling very "Green" today as Johnny!
Look for a new named based show coming to the main feed in January (The Name Game) dealing with song titles with names of people, places, roads or months. Goes along well with the Living Wilds bonus show just released. All subjects covering people, animals, and nature.
Enjoy all the shows at Spotify or anywhere on the web!!

ALL NEW MUSIC AND BANDS ALERT!!
5 YEAR ANNIVERSARY!!
50th episode released in total!!
Ep 18 (Light My Fire TOO)...Dec 2019! Season 3 reboot!!
DISCLAIMER...PARENTAL DISCRETION ADVISED!! (end of the show)
I was a little "loose" with my language this show (just having fun!) and there's a new Euro band (PAPYLLON) with some adult content!
I had to at least warn you that the HALSHACK "grew up" this show, now its time to "blow up" and start work on the next level of my entertainment juggernaut!
ALL NEW BANDS AND MUSIC!!--read below
SPECIAL DEBUT RETURN to the scene in 6 YEARS...
EMILY MORRIS (American Idol Season 11)..."absolutely pristine angelic vocal"
Debuting new bands and artists LIGHTHOUSE, PAPYLLON, SARAH LIGHTMAN,BRANDON BASSIR, FUTURE SELVES, AMANDA COOKSEY, ROB GEORG, DUSTIN WUTSCHKE collab track (with Halshack and Christina Soto) and MIKE BAUER (ooooooh... very smooth track named "Wild")
New tracks from SAM TINNESZ and LOW BODIES and round it out with a couple returning powerhouse "hits" from Spanish rocker JACK BISONTE and talented producer JAEM.
LOOK FOLKS!! I'm just having a little fun here with my show and the subject matter. Anyone who knows me and has been long time fans of the show knows that my LUCK and TIMING has been that of LEGENDS and my LIFE and SHOW are truly CONNECTED and INTERTWINED in more ways that I can count or even begin to understand. My friends and family knows that I have been trying to DATE (since the CRASH of my life in February 2019) at every turn with no luck so I thought I'd see if anyone listening might want to give it a shot and get to know me a little bit. I'm being a little MUCH in the show I know...LOL. I felt good making this show and everyone knows I like to pick and joke around! I'm not conceited in anyway I was just having a lot of fun this show being Mr. Dashing and playing off the song titles and subject matter!
HALSHACK is a persona, its me, but its not really ME. I'm keyed up, talking like a radio presenter, stuff like that is for the show!
I've got the burning passion desire for ROMANCE, FUN, ADVENTURE, LOVE and MUSIC and PASSION for life and all things fun and humorous! Anything I can do to help better human kind and it starts with tiny gifts of good music to help soothe your soul. I'll move on to BIGGER and BETTER gifts to humanity as I gain stature. It's time ladies for me to start the journey for my future life. I'm looking for a lady who might have some interest in my life and would like to get to know my heart. I would LOVE to know yours! I'm easy to talk too and approach. I can talk about anything and am interested in EVERYTHING! But surefire way to connect is to talk about the show and bands and music and if you're a special lady singer, well we just may be two peas in a pod..lol
I've got a HUGE HEART to give and want mine spoken to or better yet SUNG TO!!...lol
As usual its ALL about TIMING with me and it just so happens to be that time in my life when I'm ready for the next phase and I'm beginning to understand what type of woman I need in my life and that would be a passionate woman that's in the business or can be in the business like a SINGER/Actress/Model maybe the right kind of model that's ambitious and driven or a P.R. person. (I really kind of feel the singer/musician/writer/blogger vibe maybe) and this show of course would happen to line up with that in my life and most of the song titles being about loving a woman or just meeting the right one at this time. I cant help the timing. Its no surprise I'm single, I've mentioned the terrible effects my life have endured over the last year in past episodes. But now I'm ready to move on. Its the ONLY time I've ever USED my show to talk to women and I will never again. If this works and I find the right woman to move forward then that prevents me from wasting my time with the wrong one and stagnating my life, there would be no need to play to the ladies hearts again because I'll be happy in LOVE (I hope) and ON MY WAY. PLUS its just the subject matter of the show, again all about timing. Wasn't my plan, just worked out that way!
"these are song titles from the show"..I like to play around with titles from the show and make paragraphs with them
I AM looking for MY "Little Queen on Fire" that could be the brightest "Shining Star" of my life! I'm hoping I can at least chat with a special woman to see where it might lead! Take a leap of faith with me and lets break the ice with a little heat and maybe there might be "Something in the Air" and we "Catch Fire" so we might hit that special frequency and we're talkin' all night long! Don't know unless we try ladies.
I'm easy to find (Facebook, Twitter, Halshack contact page at website) and I'm "Easygoing", that's just me..lol
Find the Halshack on all major music services and also of course the show website!!

Dustin Wutschke and I have become pretty good pals lately. We found each other on Drooble. Turns out our lives share alot of similarities AAAANNDDD we even have the same birthday!! Just weird but coincidence, I think not. I think its all part of the master plan for the Halshack to succeed and Dustin too as we tackle the music industry as the dastardly duo!
Mixing and mastering are his game while I bring the knowledge of finesse and nuances. We built this track together for our first collaboration with Christina Soto belting out a powerful vocal. Probably be a good club track to spin up at a party!
Dustin is working on some cool projects with a very special young lady from the Caribbean I found on Drooble back at Mothers Day! Her name is Lucia Banfield and boy we will they have a surprise for you. Lucia is an absolutely ace brilliant singer at the top of the game. Its gonna be neat to see what her jazzy style and smooth delivery can conjure up with Dustin W. behind the scenes!
Be looking forward to one of their tracks making my show in the future for world wide release!

Like to introduce our newest addition to our staff of wonderkids and knuckleheads!!..lol
Brandon Barnes is a former veteran of the FM radio airwaves and has given us an awesome new review for our show! He had great comments to say and compared us to being "BETTER" than FM radio!! WOW, thanks Brandon for honoring our show with your esteemed background and street cred!!
Heres what Brandon had to say about the Halshack!!
"The HalShack RockCast has become a breath of fresh air to what had become a rather flaccid arena for what today’s FM radio plays, which can be nothing short of the same female (or male) singers practicing their vocal exercises over a producer’s loops or some recycled or borrowed beat that people had long forgotten.
Hal brings you the unpolished gems of what can (and will) be actual future storytellers brought to you via FM radio. A standard example is Kylie Odetta. Her voice can lift your spirits. At the same time, Hal brings you a podcast that you can play when you have company over, if only for the purpose of ambience; however, his infectious enthusiasm grabs you into the songs he presents like the FM days of old when DJs kept you hanging on to your radio to hear the next good song.
Hal has the ability to take you back to the soul of what made you excited about music."

Mystery Spotlight band for Ep 15
FORTY FEET TALL
Portland, Ore.
FEELING FORTY FEET TALL by Pete Ringmaster (UK)
Sometimes you come across a band which simply feels destined to find major attention and success. US rockers Forty Feet Tall is one such proposition. An outfit which cannot be called newcomers, they emerged in 2011 and have paid their musical dues whilst creating a sound which has fired up a constantly increasing flock of fans and wall shaking venues alike. As new songs have stepped forth it is hard not to have the suspicion that things are poised to really erupt for the quartet so it is time to take stock of their music to date we thought.
Formed in 2011 in Los Angeles, Forty Feet Tall took little time in lighting up local venues whilst earning a strong following. Then with similar swiftness their quickly proving individual rock music found a home playing classic rock venues such as The Troubadour, Club Nokia, the iconic Roxy, and The Whisky. It was a rapid rise based on hard work and a feisty sound regularly and effortlessly finding broader ranges of ears especially once, while wrestling with their college years, the band released a self-titled debut album. 2014 saw its well-received arrival and in no time a wider audience knew what many had already found, the Forty Feet Tall sound was one multi-flavored and impassioned as well as imaginatively crafted proposition.
Tracks such as the foot stomping ‘No Control ‘and the blues kissed ‘Not So Nice’ leaped from the speakers from within the full-length, tenacious rhythms and weaves of lively guitar regularly dancing with similarly magnetic vocals as keys offered a natural flirtation. It was a blend which invigorated each of the ten tracks making up the release and needed little time to reveal it had keen diversity to its creative prowess. Such the strength of its songs, favorites among listeners expanded its whole length but major highlights for personal tastes definitely included the instinctively catchy ‘Never Again’, ‘The Exhibition’ with its fiery muscular shuffle, and the dark southern lure that is ‘My Empty Hand’ though the virulently rousing ‘Crash and Burn’ pretty much stole the show. The album showed though that each Forty Feet Tall encounter had a character unique to the next and never left ears wanting for adventure.
It also suggested that influences to the band might have included the likes of Pearl Jam, Jimi Hendrix, The Black Keys, The Strokes, Led Zeppelin, and Howlin’ Wolf, potent spicing just as flavoursome but never over powering within the excellent ‘Red Dressed EP’ which escaped their imagination two years later. Its trio of original songs were certainly bred from the same template and intent as those before but each flourished in a new maturity in writing and invention. The EP’s opener and title track was pure infectiousness but with a plaintive heart exposed in voice and melodic fire while a richer and thicker vein of enterprise and rock ‘n’ roll weight was just as potent within the riveting pair of ‘Make It Hum’ and ‘Two Shots’.
Time since its release has seen the band relocate to Portland, Oregon, and go through a slight line-up change with bassist Brett Marquette joining vocalist/guitarist Cole Gann, guitarist Jack Sehres, and drummer Steven Driscoll. Beginning to work on their sophomore full-length, Forty Feet Tall began unveiling new tracks in 2018 beginning with the seriously striking ‘Grin’, a track as feral as it is skillfully seductive. The calmer natured ‘Cavalcade’ has only added to more intrigue and fascination as the band continued unveiling yet another impressive evolution to their music.
With ‘Quotessa’ since ramping up the anticipation of that second album or any subsequent tracks from the band it is proving so easy to imagine and assume that the time of Forty Feet Tall is on the near horizon. Even the recently breaking news of Driscoll cannot take the edge of that notion.
Forty Feet Tall is a band on the verge and their new songs roar watch out we are coming to rock your souls to exhaustion.
