Bio
.. Abandon assumption, cast off cynicism and banish boredom....NOW!.. Enter enigma - catch your breath - expect NOTHING you're expecting!.. .. The songs of Hayley Faye will lure you off the beaten track - into intense, spine-tingling territories you normally only visit in your dreams. .. Here's a soundtrack that bolts off like a rattling train over lonesome railway bridges, veers suddenly into the bright neon city heart-beat then dives deep under the ocean. .. .. Hold tight! Where you end up won't be where you started! .. .. .... The journey is .... off radar .... The night is young, tender and special. .. .. .. .. 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..." .. .. .. .. ..MyGen.. ..Profile Generator.. .. ..
