Alternate noisesmiths Hayabusa released their spanking new single ‘Evil Is Not That Laid Back’ on 24th January 2011, through Midge Bitten Records and all digital stores.

Although Hayabusa can be loosely described as an alternative rock band, as you peel back the aural layers, you’ll find a definitive edge that sets the band firmly apart from its’ contemporary counterparts. Each member brings something genuinely unique to create the Hayabusa sound; Bob Hallard (vocals / guitar) has a particular infatuation with unusual time signatures and rhythms, while Phil Hargreaves (bass) spits out crazy bass sounds and edgy grooves, and lastly Rich Adams (drums) programs synth tracks and approaches the drums with an unorthodoxed and original perspective. Progressive, yet accessible, Hayabusa have carefully knitted together a sound that is innovative, but without neglecting to actually write a killer song. As you can tell, the enterprising trio have a clear consciousness about their output and rightly so.
