    Love this band, unfortunately they are now split up but I just think they were unlucky. Loved the first album (forget the name), only got around to getting the second one "Left" a while ago, can't stop listening to that now and I actually think its better than the first. Songs like "The Red, white black and blue" and "bonfires" are absolute epics and they can do soft and sweet as well. Never caught them live unfortunately but I heard they were amazing too.

    Anyway just wanted to see if anyone else appreciated their music as I don't think it gets appreciated enough.

    saw them twice live and got both of their albums but...
    I never could stand frontman Sam Hillarys vocals
    would have made a far better band without him IMO

    The Lost Riots was the debut, i love this band, a pity they had to come to an end,

    the 2nd album is just as good as the debut. I saw them with the Open (now split too) in tbmc touring the debut, was a great gig,

    they had a book at the gig for fans to write messages in too,

    a good fan site here

    www.thehalfwayhome.com

    i think they actually have the old official domain now too, loads of downloads etc
