Hallan

HALLAN are a British post-punk band from Portsmouth, known for combining sharp social commentary, literary themes, and energetic, danceable rhythms with a distinctly modern take on the genre. Formed around songwriter and frontman Conor Clements, the band first gained attention with early singles such as “Modern England” and went on to build a reputation through acclaimed live performances and a string of releases on Nice Swan Records.

Their sound draws on influences from classic post-punk, indie rock, and new wave, blending angular guitars, driving basslines, and intelligent lyricism. In 2026, HALLAN announced their long-awaited debut album, What’s a Heaven For?, a record that explores themes of history, faith, ambition, and human nature through the stories of historical figures and characters from the past.
