Half Alive formed in Long Beach, California in 2016, with singer Josh Taylor and bassist J. Tyler Johnson at the core and Brett Kramer on drums for much of the run. They didn't start recording until 2017, and it didn't take them long to find their song: "Still Feel", the breakthrough single that went on to sell over a million copies, is a jittery, joyous thing, all tight dance-pop rhythm and Taylor's elastic voice bouncing between restlessness and release.
Now, Not Yet, their debut album in 2019, put "Still Feel" alongside more of the same blend of indie pop, alternative rock and dance-floor snap, and the band has since released three studio albums, a pile of EPs and live recordings, and a steady stream of singles. Now a duo, they still sound like a band that can't imagine music without movement.
