Half Past Four are a Canadian progressive rock band founded in Toronto by two guitarists, Dmitry Lesov and Constantin Necrasov, in 1999. Having passed through several lineup changes, the band has recently released its debut album Rabbit in the Vestibule. The band is known for its merging various musical styles, as well as composing in odd, often poly-rythmic, time signatures. They are also one of the few progressive rock bands to feature both a female vocalist and drummer. After releasing their first album, Half Past Four have become known in the progressive rock community having received critical acclaim in numerous reviews around the world and playing at Prog-Day Festival in the United States.

In 2006 they were offered to write music for a horror-comedy film The Mad. The band agreed and in October that year wrote and recorded more than 40 minutes of original music in various genres, including 80's new-wave, country, and thrash-metal.

A month later Half Past Four started to work on recording their first full-length album. Recording was completed in Summer 2007. The band then spent almost a year looking for and trying sound engineers to mix and master the album. In early March of 2008, Juno-Award winner Jono Grant was hired to mix and master the album. The album was mixed and mastered shortly after. Half Past Four's first album was officially released on October 25th, 2008.

In recent years, Half Past Four performed at various music festivals in North America, including Prog Day Festival in North Carolina and Jet Lag Festival in Pennsylvania. They have been selected to play at NEARfest in June of 2011 before the festival was cancelled. According to the band's website, myspace and facebook pages, Half Past Four are working on their second album.
