?tautahi’s Adam Hattaway and The Haunters announce their third full-length album today, Woolston, Texas due for release March 26th, 2021.

Alongside today’s announcement, the soulful alt-rockers release lead single and video ‘Wasting Our Time‘. Embellished with Hattaway’s signature vocal growls and Rolling Stones-esque rock’n’roll, ‘Wasting Our Time’ takes romance and throws it around in wild despair. The slight torment “love and affection is wasting our time” is perfectly glued together by The Haunters’ guitar-heavy grooves and sing-along harmonies.

Watch the accompanying video directed by Martin Sagadin, featuring Adam Hattaway and The Haunters bashing around in joyous rock’n’roll mayhem.

‘Wasting Our Time’ Tour tickets are on sale now at Undertheradar.co.nz – full tour dates below.

Based in ?tautahi/Christchurch, Adam Hattaway (The Eastern, Wurld Series) has been building a reputation in the world of alt-rock n roll. With sweltering hooks and raw emotional narrative, their sound says “put your arm around the one you love and remember that they won’t be there forever – but maybe that’s a good thing.’’

Adam Hattaway is for lovers. A born frontman, he performs alongside three Haunters; Elmore Jones, Liam Quinn, and Ryan Fisherman. Their hypnotic live performances are punctuated by high kicks and borderline-biblical healing sessions. After moving festival goers at Electric Avenue, Nostalgia, The Others Way, and releasing fuzz-laden album Crying Lessons, (produced by the acclaimed Delaney Davidson), they now prepare for a 12-date nationwide tour and a new album due for release in 2021.

Woolston, Texas, the third full-length album from Adam Hattaway and The Haunters, is a multifaceted alt-rock jamboree that is equal parts chaotic as it is forgiving. By track two you will be well acquainted with the scope of journey that follows, from anti-romance swooning to Spanish rock n roll… there is no time to rest.

It’s on songs like ‘Wasting Our Time’ that you hear Adam Hattaway’s subtle growls and desperate melodies wrapped in Beach Boys-esque soul. The slight torment “love and affection is wasting our time” is perfectly glued together by The Haunters’ guitar-heavy grooves. Darker themes are brought to light on ‘Big Night’ with its many hopeful moments “sometimes you have to try” quickly followed by the foreboding “sometimes you wanna die”. Crashing rhythms, bewitching vocal lines and layered harmonies are sovereign on Woolston, Texas, and sometimes we’re treated to Hattaway’s special falsetto vocal bashing, like on opening track ‘You Know You Will’. Adam Hattaway has mastered his own distinctive valour and turned it into an album with songs inspired by dreams, love, mental health, gyms and rats… Woolston Texas is a platter of stories embedded in alt-rock goodness, a lament to highs gone by.

Due for release in 2021, Woolston, Texas was produced by Ben Edwards, mixed by Ryan Fisherman and recorded at The Sitting Room in Lyttelton.
