In the past 24 months, Haywire 617 have set the scene alight with a relentless touring schedule, including a 50-state US tour. Fronted by the insanely charismatic Austin Sparkman, the band has gone from underground unknowns to a name that echoes across hardcore circles — and if you haven’t heard it yet, this is your moment to show up and find out why.
Haywire 617’s music is pure, unfiltered hardcore: fast, aggressive, and tight, with riffs that hit like a punch and vocals that command attention. The six-piece are living proof that hardcore culture is alive and thriving worldwide — brutal yet melodic, chaotic yet precise, and full of the energy that makes fans feel part of something bigger than themselves.
These shows are going to sell out fast, so don’t sleep on it. Grab your mates, get in the pit, and experience the fire of Haywire 617 live.
