Career

Halocene started when Bradley Amick placed an ad on Craigslist in Phoenix seeking collaborators, connecting with Addie Nicole whom he met online; the pair quickly bonded over shared rock influences and began recording in a makeshift south Phoenix home studio.

Early work focused on original material, self-producing their debut EP The Secret in 2009 after just three months of writing, followed by relentless gigging in a beat-up van.

Initial recognition came from opening slots for major acts like Blink-182 and Fall Out Boy, plus a spot on the Vans Warped Tour in 2008, where their high-energy pop-punk sets built a grassroots following without label support.

The band solidified as a core duo in the early 2010s, with Bradley handling production and guitar while Addie delivered powerhouse vocals; they expanded to a trio briefly with drummer Joe Polizzi (and earlier members like Cash Hart on guitar), but always kept operations DIY.

By 2011, they released their first full album Can You Hear Us Now?, blending heavy riffs with melodic hooks, and pivoted to YouTube for weekly uploads of rock covers, which exploded their reach—tracks like their metal take on Linkin Park’s “Numb” racked up millions of views and won YouTube’s Best Cover Ever award.

Key accomplishments include surpassing 100 million YouTube views by 2019, collaborations with channels like Kurt Hugo Schneider and Our Last Night, and branching into Twitch as early adopters with multi-cam live streams three nights a week, earning them Twitch Ambassador status.

Growth accelerated with EPs like Make It Loud (2014) and the full-length Refraction (2018), plus high-profile controversies like accusing The Masked Singer Australia of copying their “Bad Guy” arrangement in 2019, which rallied fans and boosted visibility.

Transitions to originals, such as the 2021 single “Warrior State of Mind” featuring stuntwoman Caitlin Dechelle, marked a shift from pure covers to a balanced catalog.

Further into their career, Halocene leaned into fan-driven content, releasing tribute albums like Our Chemical Romance: MCR Tribute (2021) and Bring Me to Life: Evanescence Tribute (2022), while touring extensively—their 2022 U.S./Europe run with Lauren Babic and Violet Orlandi was their largest yet.

They diversified with jingles for Nickelodeon, Hasbro, and Disney, and endorsements from Sennheiser and PreSonus, all self-managed through Bradley’s AIMX Studios, reinforcing their independent ethos amid the pandemic’s streaming boom.

Today, Halocene thrives in Nashville with the 2023 Maleficent EP and 2024’s Glory Days, alongside 2025 tours like the Death Card Tour and European festival debuts at Rock For People and Graspop Metal Meeting.

Their influence lies in empowering unsigned acts through direct fan engagement—Patreon exclusives and live requests—while maintaining over 646,000 monthly Spotify listeners; legacy-wise, they’ve redefined cover bands as viable careers, inspiring a new wave of online rock creators with their unfiltered hustle.
