The Hyads are a rare breed, a distillation of pure rock n roll with post punk influences fuelled by energetic song writing styles , they have reached the point where their set is overloaded with modern classics in the waiting! From sharp two minute explosions to crowd pleasing epics , there is something for everyone. The Hyads in the last twelve months have toured relentlessly throughout the UK and with an already established loyal local following and they are beginning to create a buzz around themselves nationally by working non stop to leave a trail up and down the land.
So far to date they have played on stages with The subways, Mani from primal scream, Alabama 3, The View, Maximo Park, Tom Hingley (inspiral carpets), The Stranglers, Dreadzone, Pete Donnigan, one night only and Blackbud all from word of mouth or demo's passed on.
The Hyads have also won acclaim from local and national media this is all aiding to the buzz aswell as their songs being used in soundtracks to accompany film projects the most recent being 'A Walk In The Park' made by the same company who produce channel four's 'Dispatches', and alex reid's new film 'Killer Bitch'.
2009 has also seen the Hyads in the studio to record a debut EP set for release in 2010.
