HAYWIRE

HAYWIRE is one of the fastest-growing acts on the American hardcore scene, and in just a couple of years they have gone from basements to big stages. The band was formed in Boston by singer Austin Sparkman, who previously played in Buried Dreams, Conservative Military Image and Rude Awakening. Their sound is unpredictable, unfiltered hardcore with guttural vocals that constantly shifts between crushing heaviness and dynamic passages. The band is also known for a strong sense of community that goes right back to the opening track of their debut, B.H.C.A.D.E.D: “Boston Hardcore, All Day Every Day”.

Their debut album Conditioned for Demolition came out in 2024, and things have moved fast since. In 2026 came the EP For Better or for Worse, a split with No Guard and a split with none other than Dropkick Murphys, whom they also toured North America with. In early October 2026 their second album, I Don’t Wanna Say Goodbye, was released on Roadrunner Records.

In 2026, HAYWIRE has also toured with Drain, supported Poison the Well in Australia, played with Turnstile and Circle Jerks, and appeared on the bills at Riot Fest, Louder Than Life, Sick New World and Furnace Fest. You can look forward to a show by a band that gives everything from the first second to the last.
