"Promise Me You Will Run" Official video

Local agent, Kevin Young, who has worked with a host of well known talent including Uncle Cracker said, "The band is so very talented that I couldn’t just sit on the sidelines. So I signed them to a management deal.  So much for retirement ;)

I’m not the only one who sees the enormous talent in this band.  Kevin Vargas, VP Rock Formats at Town Square has personally invited them to play as 1st of 4 for a stadium concert for his station in El Paso, simply because he's a fan of their music!  This is of course the show that features Poppy and 2 of your acts, Scott Stapp and Dead Poets Society. "

• They’ve recorded great music!  Producer KThrash (Blink 182, Jelly Roll, MGK) has taken them under his wing and worked on their latest EP, (released late 2024) that includes these tracks.
                  1. “Promise Me You’ll Run” Over 1 million YouTube views.  (Noted above)
                  2. “It Doesn’t Look So Good For You Now”  Over 550k YouTube views. 
                They are currently working with KThrash on a new 5 song EP for release in the fall.
• Their live performances are amazing!  Here’s a link to a live performance.
• Toured 55 + Cities. Performances inspired huge merch sales and created new fans coast to coast
• Their music and videos have circulated within Live Nation.  Michael Yerke and Barry Gabel, both VPs, are big fans!  They just did dates at HOB, San Diego and The Peppermint Club in LA.   We are working on more bookings w/ Live Nation.
• Total YouTube views over 2.7 million.
• 2 million streams combined at Spotify + Apple
• In terms of total streams, they are in the top 1% of all bands on Spotify which is amazing for an independent band.
• Airplay at 20+ radio stations including 99X, Atlanta, Alt 107.3, Cleveland and all TownSquare Active Rocks coast to coast.
• Sync deals with E! MTV and Netflix speak of enormous talent and work ethic
• Their songs have a profound emotional impact with today’s generation, helping deal with the high instances of mental illness and addiction.  

The band is passionate about providing help and resources through their music and platform. They co-created a program called Concert & Convo with philanthropist Mike Donohue and launched it last month at San Diego State University. In this program, HLH performs music and leads a Q&A on mental health inside lecture halls on university campuses. Here’s a sample of the passionate reactions they receive from fans on a daily basis. 

Catch them May 23 at Mahall's, doors open early, and they have been packing the venues.

See you there.
