Haywire’s propulsive live show sure to make new hardcore acolytes

It’s interesting that Haywire feels like a one-man show, largely the work of Austin Sparkman. But Sparkman is a veteran of the punk scene, having played in numerous bands over the years. When he creates new music – and it’s been a while since his last full album, 2024’s excellent Conditioned for Demolition – he always brings in talented friends to help.
