hayabusa-evil-is-not-that-laid-backHayabusa hail from Manchester and consist of Bob Hallard (guitars and vocals), Phil Hargreaves (bass) and Rich Adams (drums)and I have to say that this single took me by surprise - it is all over the place!!  

 

Influences fly out from everywhere and, reading the blurb that accompanies this single, it cites quite a few including Meshuggah, Incubus, Biffy Clyro and Tool and, in fairness, you can hear parts and elements of all in this release. But for my non-musician brain that just left me feeling confused, I don't think the song quite gels, but it wouldn't put me off checking them out live or looking out for their album that is due sometime in the spring 2011. Sometimes boys "Less is More", as they say!!!
