Haywood (band)

Haywood was an indie rock quartet from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania and Brooklyn, New York that was active from 1992 to 2000.[1] They have been compared to Superchunk and Modest Mouse.[2] While the band achieved only modest success in their eight years together, their third album We Are Amateurs, You and I was well reviewed, receiving an 8.2 rating on Pitchfork and praises from John Darnielle of The Mountain Goats.[3][4] The release is regarded as the album which could have kick-started Haywood's rise to fame, had they not coincided the release with the announcement that the band had split up.
