Portsmouth's Hallan have returned this week with their anthemic new single Borgo Pass. With raw, determined vocals and a surging synth line that elevates the track’s soaring pop energy, the band builds on their momentum as they follow up their spring release, Lilian’s Regret. Detailing their latest release, the band stated: “Our new single takes inspiration from Stoker’s Dracula, but instead of a Halloween caricature; we paint him as a flawed romantic -longing for love yet cursed to eternal loneliness. Blending vampiric imagery with poppier, more accessible sounds, the track explores universal themes of longing, isolation, and finding meaning in a finite life. It’s both a nod to literary tradition and a call to appreciate the fleeting beauty of being human.” Take a listen for yourselves below. 

Hallan is Conor Clements (vocals), Joshua Tweedale (bass), Joshua Ransley (guitar), Adam Mills (drums).
