The Styx, the just released ninth studio record from Brisbane veterans Halfway is a sweeping and cinematic record of Australiana that explores themes of family, isolation, love and betrayal, set against the backdrop of Christmas in 1986 in a small coastal town.

2SER’s intrepid rock explorer Vinny Ramone travelled to the the “Halfway House” to catch up with  John Busby to talk about the record and the bands’ 25 year history, and much more on The Outpost. Listen back to the full interview on the play button.

The Styx is out now on Plus One Records

Halfway will be performing at The Factory on Saturday July 26 with Knievel and The Electorate –  tickets here
