MAY the fourth BE WITH YOU!!...lol Official release of the exclusive radio show (Double Trouble). Its Star Wars day and of course my show has something to do with Star Wars (huge fan...lol) and the song titles and it just so happens to be time to release this to the world! "I can't explain my life folks! I just live it"...lolWell, in light of Star Wars Day, its time to shed the sabers light on this very cool show (released last year to radio only!!) full of broken men and echoes of the past when music meant more than background noise!Just like Anakin, I too was a "Broken Man" when I started my journey into the music business many many years ago! That's when the music started to change for the worse at the top tier level. People who know better never forgot the "Echoes" of the past greats of music while this new (bad batch) of songs infiltrated the airwaves. Some thought it was great while others had "Faith" we wouldn't completely "Ghost" the soul of music for all the fancy "Lights" and glory of a new electronic sound while real bands and musicians were left feeling like "Monsters" and outsiders to the music industry. Here we are 9 years later since that fateful day in 2012 when I decided it was time to be the change that we so desired before the industry loses all credibility. I made a point to "Never Give Up" on you the listener just hoping for the day that folks would "Remember Me" when they tune into the radio when looking for music that is NOT being boxed in by "Walls". "No Walls" around music means diversity can grow and be encouraged. Well I hope you enjoy my little story as much as my show!Go find your fave episode now and remember "the force of excellent music will always be with you on my show" You can always stream or download the shows here at PODOMATIC or just about anywhere on the web from ITUNES to IHEART, to DEEZER, to AMAZON MUSIC plus many many more!!Find everthing Halshack at my websitewww.halshack.com24 hour radio stationwww.zeno.fm/halshack

Thanks for all the support!HALSHACK has been granted another rare opportunity to "break out" a star! LIL' FYE is a newcomer singing (awesome) the hook and working out his rap skills that will surely grow over time with support of LIL' ZANE with the LEGION on the beats in an all new remix of MR. TIK TOK! It's sure to be a HIT!!! I'm so proud and honored I get to bring this out on a WORLD PREMIERE!!Every great show has to find room for expansion into unknown territory!

(Laughatproblems, C.O.I.N, and Wunda845)This show is meant to take the listener on a journey through rap from modern day and work your way back through the 2000s and the 90s and back to 2000s to modern day jams with some of the finest examples of the art that have ever graced my golden laid ears!Its a 30 year trip through HIP HOP that's NEVER BEEN DONE BEFORE!!!

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!! Go find us there too along with all the other music services and radio stations and my website that support the show!!www.halshack.com

Hows everyone doing during the lockdown? I'm doing great!! Hope you are too, if not then maybe a new (old) show will cheer you up and have you smiling for 25 minutes. So I'm staying busy and still working too. Life never stops for the banking industry..lol. Back when I was on SPOTIFY (kicked me off in Mar for being a music podcast..lol) I had a popular exclusive series named POPIFY. I got out 5 plus a Canadian based show to run as exclusives for them and draw attention to the show on Spotify. So this was POPIFY 2 released June 2019...each POPIFY show contains at least one exclusive song or more that can't be heard anywhere else in a regular show or regular bonus. (not counting SHACKSTARS)So have fun getting to know these very cool indie acts and even cooler indie tunes. Some don't sound so indie at all and could be your next love song or the song you sing to your wife at your wedding party or down the aisle. Could also be your new dance fave. Too many stellar tracks to learn and enjoy!Just have fun and be sure to download or stream all the Popify series, so far 1,4,5 are also posted to the official feed!

BRAND NEW MUSIC ALERT! 6 NEW SONGS!Lets all take some time to reflect while we are stuck in quarantine!Well folks everyday is "ALL THE SAME" as we fight the lockdown blues. Some of you may be reflecting on life's choices and next moves or if youre like me youre "ON IT" till 3 or 4 in the morning working towards your new life and career path. We will all be making changes as we're "MOVING FORWARD" with life but its important to remember to "DONT LOSE YOUR HEAD" and try to stay focused during these trying times........ This story is a work in progress. Just catch up and reflect with your maze of personal reflections. Life will go forward folks!! Just Enjoy!

Its the very first in my famous POPIFY series. It used to be a Spotify Exclusive but they decided I couldn't be on their network anymore.Being a music based podcast goes against their podcasting policies.Even though I had been on there for a year already. Just stupid!!..lolAnyway enjoy this show and when youre done with that go find more things Halshack at my website or all over the web baby!!Halshack.comThanks for rockin' indie music and helping the indie family and community thrive.(Spotify original release Dec 2018)(1st RSS feed release 4-13-19)(2nd RSS feed release 4-8-20)Will stay up for good now!

Ep 19.5 (Stay Home, Don't Roam) Apr 2020 ....bonus show, music onlyA 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! ..lolSo 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 struming 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 todays 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 dont 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 Halshack.comCheck out the new VH1 or MTV style videos shows over at SHACKVIDS pageHalshack.com/shackvidsFind everything at my website including the playlist for this show at SHACKLISTS!

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.

HAHAHA! Its ok I know what it is. Im a way better playlister than anybody they could possibly find or hire and they dont like it. I have more knowledge and experience than they ever will!

Its a whole new show in essence and the show it should have been to begin with!! Have fun!NEW MUSIC AND NEW BAND EXPLOSION!!Brand new Season 3 reboot pt2!!!Ep 19 (Precious Hearts)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 from 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!!

Here's another blast from the past! The original Ep 3 from 5 years ago! Never uploaded to the feed!Enjoy!Halshack.com

Shackstars series (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 Halshack.com for all the details on the Shackfest!!Find more great Halshack episodes on all major platforms!!Shacklist at Halshack.com

DISCLAIMER...PARENTAL DISCRETION ADVISED!! (please read below)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 belowSPECIAL 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 thats in the business or can be in the business like a SINGER or a P.R. person. (I really kind of feel the singer vibe) 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..lolFind the Halshack on all major music services and also of course the show website!!www.Halshack.com

I appreciate it and so do the artists!www.halshack.com

NEW MUSIC ALERT!!! Lots of new tunes! Texas faves Polaroid Summer and Versecity (same lead singer) are both drillin' up new tunes and albums to feast our ears of delight on and awe! I swear his vocals just get better! Wow! Bringing up the rear, were droppin' new tunes from Uks and The Notionaries as well as diggin' deep into the basement cellar to get all "Made Up" for a Halloween party and pulling out some tracks that havnt been heard in a year or not been in rotation in many years (Savage Henry)The Heartland of the USA bares many crosses as the main providers of corn, oil, and many of our fave winter vacation hot spots! It also bares many disasters as we have seen far too many horror stories in the mid-west from a mixed bag of the nastiest kind of weather to sounding like "Trains" rumbling all across Oklahoma and Kansas. The Uk's have finally found their "Waxwings" as they landed in Missouri. Glad they could fly in for the party before we keep this road trip across the USA rollin'!"If You Want My Love" Arkansas, then you need to help the PRICECREW find their safe place in the music business they can call home. Houston has been in the "Eye of the Storm" more times than we can count yet Texas holds strong and in "The End" always triumphs! VERSECITY camp may have lost their studio and equipment and delayed their new cd but what they gained is so much more valuable. LIFE and a chance to record again with the lead (Walker) charging on as the new camp Polaroid Summer! The horror of Hurricane Harvey bringing his "Battle Ready" name and status brought out the "Monster" in Walker to push on with the guys and finally complete Versecity's new album. Westward we head to the warmer skies of Arizona for a little visit with Father Time and catch up on his "Fan Fiqtion" before we dredge on to the snowy mountaintops of Colorado and Utah to "get high" in the Rockies with our pals Savage Henry whom we "Cant Get Enough" of and there's certainly "No Sleep" for the wicked this Halloween with VoxEagle tagging along. While you're there be sure to take "Another Brick" from the wall while you're feeling "Comfortably Numb" with Savage Henry and their tribute band (WISH WE WERE FLOYD) making a rare appearance (Sat Nov 2, 2019) at The ARMORY in Brighton, CO...show starts at 8pm (then we gotta get going..lol) All good journeys have a time for ending as we approach the Great Plains of Wyoming "As We Ran" with the National Parks and through the Teeton National Forest! Montana is one of the last true rugged (old) western frontiers. It beckons back to a time of when things were simpler and not so robust as the rest of the world. Makes you feel like you're living a "1950's Life" with Jael Johnson. As we come to our final stop of the Heartland of "Merica" I have come to realize that 2 important additions to the Halshack were overlooked on our trip to hear the "Wonders of the West Coast". Brittany Bouchard said "I Will Be Yours" California when she made her BIG move from Florida to the golden shores of the west bringing her country pop vibe in tow.We make another trip back around to Oregon because Tyler Stenson was on a ride on his "Good Comet" when we came around to visit with his awesome glowing vocals that continue help keeping the Halshack on a righteous path and "Steady as I Go" on my journey to conquer the music world! Find the Halshack on all major music services or my website!Halshack.comHave a happy and safe Halloween folks!Be sure to download or stream (Ep 13-Lucky 13) and (Ep 13.5 -Hallowshack) for some cool holiday fun!!

Top 10 baby!! Alright the time is here. You asked for it, the fans voted on it so you guys built your very own playlist! All my fans did an excellent job picking us a very diverse playlist out of this round of 45 plus contenders! It comes down to taste and who participated but they gave us nice overall look of some of the exquisite talent that can be found buried all through out my shows!All 45 of these acts have had some kind of success in the indie music biz whether it be radio airplay or opening for National acts or having their music played in TV shows and commercials! Its all top quality and hard to choose who is "better" so with that said just sit back with your favorite music listening device and enjoy these sounds from around the globe. 4 US artists, 1 Canadian, 1 Irish and 4 from England round out this list of bonafide true quality players. vocalists, songwriters and skilled musicians. Some of the BEST talent in the world folks and it can ONLY be found under my label!Thanks again for all the support and thanks again to all the fans for a hell of a playlist. This is just awesome!PS>>>>>>>>If you dont trust me, if youre a new fan and have never heard my show!THEN DO ME A FAVOR!! Go listen to Spotify top 30 and then come check out my top 10 and hear the difference!!Find us on all streaming services!Halshack.comPS>>>>>> Thanks again to PLAYER FM for 11 PODCAST of the DAY awards!!ERROR CORRECTION >>>>>> I apologize for making a name error in the show. HELEN AUSTIN with the Big Little Lions is her correct last name, not SLATER. I meant to check that for sure before I made the final cut and it was honestly just a mistake that I feel terrible about.

This is the second portion of the Battleshack 2 (honorable mentions) bands that got the next most round of votes to fill my time at the radio stations and your musical appetite. Sort of like an 11-20. Special mention to National Parks and their "As we Ran" obtaining the most votes for this group of 10 semi-finalists. The next 4 got equal votes and the last 5 got equal votes so I grouped it together the best way I could into a "flow" that I normally do in a bonus show. Please enjoy these very worthy artists of our top bands. Its apples to oranges folks, you may really enjoy these tunes alot more than what was in the top 10 and also the other 25 plus bands and artists that were conteding in the Battleshack. Some of our best singers and talent got very few votes so it depends on who is listening and who is supporting and voting. Thanks to all that voted in the Battleshack 2 and thanks to all these awesome acts for bringing us brilliant tunes and potential solid gold hits!!Find the Halshack at my website and all major streaming services!Halshack.com

Moving Forward as said by the excellent singer/songwriter Dustin Paul from NY, we are doing just that! keeping on with the Geo location theme we're trekking on northward to include all our great Northern USA bound acts. Como Bros from NY coming in strong with 2 new songs!! These guys just really continue to up their A game!! Well done fellas!! Youve got a hit with MONEY for sure!! geez guys, the whole song and every freakin' lyric and word just screams $$$$$...lol (oh the irony and the relation every listener will feel from this song..its just one of those major clandestine hits in the making and folks guess what?? YOU HEARD IT HERE 1st on the HALSHACK baby!! They got a new one too about going back home and its just damn awesome!! Love me some Como Bros. You should too!!From the windy city of Chicago through the brisk chill of the Ohio valley to the steel mills of Pennsylvania on up to the Big Apple and rounding out in the far north east at Hallowell, Maine. You will find the very best the USA has to offer in the indie unsigned market (that I have heard, that's the thing just like the BIG labels don't know about these acts, there's plenty I havnt heard yet..always on the hunt!!) from all types of rock, alt, pop infused genres!This show arguably contains my best vocalists. Dustin Paul and Luis Feliciano of (Ode to No One) Como Brothers as well, Minshara, Heavy English..dag-on there is some damn fine talent in this show!! I chose NYC and the Statue of Liberty and the Twin Towers as a symbol of a strong Northern character to be resilient and honorable!! We should all NEVER FORGET the tragedy that unfolded that horrific day in New York. I thought since Sept 11 was just a few days ago this would be the upmost time to pay some homage to the victims and their families.Halshack will forever remember that day as will so many others that are in the hearts and minds for all people affected that day. I have found the best picture I could to symbolize those beautiful steel structures in all their glory! NEVER FORGET is tagged on the bottom with that dreadful black stain of a date in our nations history! We have been resilient as a nation but we have lost the true meaning of NEVER FORGET! America came together the most it had come together in decades. What has happened to our countries UNITY? We should NEVER FORGET that as well................Find the Halshack on all major music services or Halshack.com or google me!! I'm everywhere baby!! Shacklist found at my website and as always thank you for supporting and rockin' the HALSHACK!!

!!!!BRAND NEW MUSIC ALERT!!!! Most of the music in this show is NEW!!Sticking with the location theme were gonna trek across the grand ole' USA to our west coast neighbors and serve up some Cali to Washington gold and of course we cant forget those great environmental leaders of Oregon stuck in middle. I recently made a cool Lego video with my son Tyler, featuring (TOP by HOONCH), in order to support the show with new avenues to promote the HALSHACK. The west coast of the USA is a busy place with many fantastic sights and sounds to enjoy while you soak up those California rays. There are many avenues of styles of music to traverse off the Gold Coast. You cant go too far without running into a famous star or band in SoCal and one day these great Halshack acts will be sharing that musical high life as well with the golden state song warriors. The Pacific northwest has become a hub of techno jargon and silicon landscaping but Seattle rock still exists and going strong in Wash and Oregon among all the Yahoos and Micronauts running around!...lolWho said anything about traveling all those roads and highways of the west coast to hear a bunch of great outstanding bands and artists. Look no further but the Halsahck. Ive done all the leg work for you! Ive just about not heard any better indie/unsigned acts hailing from the tri-state area! Were you guys hit with the "musicanator"? (any one who watches Phineas and Pherb cartoon will get that joke..lol)Long live Perry the Platypus...lol and long live the Halshack so these bands will have their chance at a bright sunny future living and loving life under the sunny rays of the west coast USA!!Shacklists can be found at my websiteHalshack.comShows can be found across most major music services.Be sure to vote in the BATTLESHACK 2 contest on my website. Alot of these acts are in the contest to be voted for a top 10 show. Ep 17 will be the Battleshack 2 results show. Get your votes in now. Vote for your fave 3. Voting closes soon!! NO kidding!! Go vote now before its too late!! Thanks so much everyone for your undying support!!HALSHACK has 40k subscribers and heard and played in over 70 major US cities and 70 countries around the world!

Narrow Plains, rising popular band from the UK won a prestigious contest to come to the USA 4 years ago and work with famed producer John Davenport (John Mellancamp, John Lennon are just a few of his credits). While they were here I got the pleasure of having a beer and some laughs with Charlie, Roger and Stuart. Great guys and outstanding gentlemen. Glad to have them as part of my camp of quality artists from around the world!Check these fellas out 70k fanbase on Twitter and growing!They have their own Shackstars episode 11.5 and their very own professional review from my staff at CREWS VIEWS at Halshack.com
