The Hyaenas
https://hyaenasband.com/
Hyaenas is an Indie Alt Pop band known for their fierce energy, bona fide connection, and a sound that fuses 80’s nostalgia with modern production, pulsing synths, gritty guitars, and emotionally potent lyrics. Their music lies somewhere along the lineage between The Go-Go’s and The Beaches, and explores the complexities of Human Nature through a lens that’s as bold as it is vulnerable.
