New York City Cops Shut Down Haywire’s Times Square Pop-Up
The post New York City Cops Shut Down Haywire’s Times Square Pop-Up appeared first on Stereogum .
Boston hardcore band Haywire made waves in the underground music scene with their relentless touring and impromptu performances. Their second album, I Don't Wanna Say Goodbye, released under Roadrunner, garnered attention for its music videos, "Interstate Love Affair" and "Sincerely Yours." The band announced a pop-up set in Times Square on Instagram just before the performance, hoping to film a video.
Around a few hundred fans attended, but the event was short-lived when NYPD intervened. Haywire managed to play a couple of songs before the police intervened, taking away the band's equipment. However, there were no arrests. The band's publicist mentioned that the footage from the impromptu show could be more valuable than if they had been allowed to play for a longer duration. Haywire plans to tour several US festivals next month and then head to Australia.
