Haywire – “Sincerely Yours”
There's something rather brilliant about a band doing the absolute most with the absolute least, isn't there? Haywire have managed to become proper movers in the hardcore scene whilst still operating from what sounds like a gloriously lean discography. A refreshing middle finger to the notion that you need mountains of material to matter. If they can build genuine momentum and keep people engaged with such a lean catalogue, that says something proper important about the power of a tight, compelling live show and real artistic conviction. We rather fancy that approach around here.
From Stereogum: Over a very short stretch of time, Boston's Haywire have vaulted to the absolute top of the hardcore heap, playing crazy shows on an absurd schedule and becoming viral stars without compromising their presentation. They've done all this without having all that much music out on the market. With one album and a few splits, Haywire's entire recorded output is what, 40 minutes? Maybe 50? That's about…
