about
Halfway Crooks blend reggae-rock with funk, hip-hop, ska & beyond, always resulting in their trademark sound. Infectious hooks & memorable lyrics will have you singing along as if you know them, yet the vibes are fresh & original. This, combined with high-energy performances, make them a force to be reckoned with. Halfway Crooks are a band from Yonkers, New York. They came together in early 2004, mixing several musical elements together in a style that can only be described by hearing it: soulful and grooving rock, reggae, ska, hip-hop, and funk rhythms; overlapped by smooth melodies, melodic raps, and infectious hooks; sporadically accompanied by guest lyricists and vocalists, as well as brass instruments and percussion; culminating with insightful and memorable lyrics that paint a picture, bound to stick in your head. Following a path of originality, similar to the influences of Sublime, The Roots, and Red Hot Chili Peppers, Halfway Crooks blend several layers that equally appeal to fans of many genres, people of different cultures, and ages spanning from Generation Y to the Baby-Boomers, widening their potential audience to no limits. In 2007, the Crooks gigged locally as well as in Philly, D.C., and Vermont, after releasing "Throw the First Stone & Take the Streets" - 2 e.p.'s on 1 c.d. By the end of the year, they had put together their first full-length album, "Raise the Bar". It features 17 original songs, 2 of which were mixed by Jim Sabella (Public E
