Twenty thirteen was a propelling year for Canadian indie soft-rock band Half Moon Run’s popularity, after the release of their debut album Dark Eyes in March 2012. In August of last year they were featured for their most renowned song “Full Circle” on the official Ubisoft trailer for Assassins Creed: Black Flag IV.

As well as adding tours with Mumford and Sons and recently City & Colour to their belt it widens their reputation as ‘the’ band to look out for. With an already strong Australian fan base following the bands appearances at Peats Ridge NSW and Woodford VIC, social meida has been on their side; spreading the word about the performance of their shows ultimately led to “Full Circle” being played on triple J.

Whether you have heard them or not, there is no doubt that Half Moon Run are one of 2014s shining stars and are definitely worth a look, for $25 you really can’t go wrong.

They are playing this Thursday at Fly by Night in Freo; undoubtedly a band you will be able to tell your kids you saw “before they were cool”.
