Let the Story begin….After many years locked in a dark cellar Hayley Faye dusted off her red shoes, ventured outside and embarked on a little mission. The first person she found was a Public Pervert who directed Hayley Faye to the Empire of magical people. When Hayley arrived at her destination she discovered a little magic girl called Babysleepmode who had a friend called Andy the Bass man. Andy told Hayley that he had read The News and saw a picture of a little drummer boy called Dan (Dannyboy to be precise), the page turned and the picture was complete. They all lived happy together in a Scooby Doo van and played outside as The Hayley Faye Band
REVIEWS:
Richard Foster - incendiarymag.com
"...there's no winsomeness, no harps and no emotional padding. In common with a lot of female singer-songwriters, the songs are acoustic based, and stripped to the minimum. But they are positive, extrovert and tough. Moreover, there's something very direct and very appealing about Miss Faye's vocal delivery. You could say she openly enjoys singing these tracks, and is quite happy to share her enjoyment with you, which is something quite rare in this genre... these are bloody good pop songs, simple, direct, fearless and possessing a pop kick to knock you into next week.
This girl has talent, no doubt."
Manuel Ecostos - manchestermusic.co.uk
"...she works well with her band to stir the mix of edgy indie and folk derived ideas, into a fairly riot influenced rock and roll excursion...looks like a more than successful musical career is beckoning for Hayley.."
David Sue - Manchester Evening News
"...Hayley Faye, keeping a cool, precocious head in a world full of posturing rock’n’roll delinquents, is something of a true pop dilettante... the band (is) an anachronistic yet fantastically vibrant rock’n’roll beast; informed by rockabilly, mod-pop and stomping blues-rock, the end result sounding like a pop-heavy White Stripes playing Johnny Cash songs..."
Steve Lamacq - BBC Radio 1 (on playing the demo of babysleepmode)
“when you see Hayley walking down the red carpet at the Brit Awards, remember where you heard her first”.
BBC Manchester
"...the exuberance spills from the band to the crowd."
Cath Aubergine- mmitc.blogspot.com/
"...The tunes are glorious upbeat Smiths-ish indie with a dash of country, completely free from the navel-gazing drivel you often get with female (and indeed male) singer-songwriters..."
Manuel Ecostos - manchestermusic.co.uk
"...(Hayley's) shakey, enchanting melodies are now dirtied up and swing with an excitement that’s now informed by modern indie, whilst still being indebted by the very best parts of the female singer/songwriter genre... Where Faye has the leverage is in the range and quality of her self penned songs which make her a very signable proposition."
REVUE ISSUE 2
M - 3/3
"A Jangly song seamstress, groovy bass to provide a more mainstream background to what is refreshingly original. Hayley has a commanding stage presence and her lyrics accent this brilliantly. Meaningful verses followed by effortlessly punchy choruses. Superb."
TL - 3/3
"She has a wonderful voice, caring and beautiful live, so much ability in her song writing with just the right amount of folk influence to float this possibly under-engineered sound above water. We don't usually talk about lyrics, but these are quite spectacular. Somehow it can seem messy at times, but character throws itself at you throughout..."
