ALBUM REVIEW: HUMAN NATURE

"Vancouver's Hyaenas are laughing all the way to becoming indie music's next big thing."

ALBUM REVIEW: HUMAN NATURE

"Sounding like a scuzzy-edged version of the Beaches or a pop-minded take on Hole, the four-piece take on inner saboteurs ("Wanna Get Along?"), sexuality ("Queer"), and seismic shifts ("I'll Take Mine")."

REVIEW & INTERVIEW: HUMAN NATURE

"For the uninitiated curious to know what this band is about, the title track “Human Nature” is the perfect place to start. Setting an early tone, the brief eerie opening effects are quickly dispelled by Jessie’s thumping bass riffs and Jen’s pounding skins..."

REVIEW OF SINGLE,  “SOUND SPELL”: 

"With a brief 3:00 run time, “Sound Spell” contains all the trademarks that defines the band’s music – synth heavy, drum pounding, guitar ringing retro alt-pop that is equally at home on a 90s indie playlist as it is here a quarter of the way into this century."

REVIEW OF EP, "LITTLE TROPHY::

"With their debut EP, Little Trophy, Hyaenas inspires listeners to get back on their feet, resist oppression, and fight for who and what they love. Some might argue that a band should try to quietly get on their feet before rattling off something so profound. But Hyaenas are sick and tired of listening to the rules."

REVIEW OF EP, "LITTLE TROPHY": 

"Pure coolwave pop is the default on the EP, even when the guitars start out distorted and chugging at the beginning of “For the Birds”, and when echo-thump drums serve as the launching pad for “Another Level”.

RADIO INTERVIEW:

"Seeing someone unabashedly be their authentic self can be incredibly motivating and exciting. There’s no better example than the all-queer, all-women synth/rock pop band Hyaenas."

INTERVIEW:

“Five Minutes With” new Indie Rock band, Hyaenas

REVIEW AND INTERVIEW:

"The four-woman group has both the unmistakable 80s female pop band beat
plus bloodlines to the lesbian bands in the US that came out of the women’s
movement."
