About
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.
Hyaenas songs are written through a queer feminist lens - exploring themes from acceptance to vigilance; celebrating nature, self-worth, and social justice. Their sound draws inspiration from 80’s icons The Go-Go’s to modern day Indie darlings Warpaint, and synth-pop power quartet Metric.
Sophie Heppell (guitar, vocals), Jessie Robertson (bass), Jen Foster (drums) and Luvia Petersen (synth) have a palpable chemistry making this brand new band feel like it has always been.
