Laughing Hyenas
Laughing Hyenas is the saga of one of the most uncompromising quartets in post-punk’s artistically dubious history. It’s a legacy of hell-bent self-destruction in the name of making an unholy racket, a sound both original and traditional, fueled by a love of punk rock, blues and the endless highway. The Hyenas shared stages with indie rock royalty and crisscrossed the nation to deliver the gospel of the New Sounds.
The band's road to big things was blocked by heroin habits, along with the incumbent personality problems that go along with addiction. Based on new interviews and fresh source material, Laughing Hyenas intimately chronicles the history of one of the last outlaw rock ‘n’ roll bands of our era.
Ships on or before the 6/24/25 pub date.
