Hyaenas

Vancouver, BC, Canada

Embodying the energy & ferocity of the animal they are named after, Hyaenas is a new Indie Rock band breaking into the Canadian music scene.  With fun, catchy hooks, their songs are written through a queer feminist lens; exploring meaningful themes from acceptance to vigilance, celebrating a love of nature, witchcraft, and social justice while drawing inspiration in their sound from 80’s icons The Go-Go’s to modern day Indie darlings, Warpaint.    Born in a pandemic, 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. Hyaenas is currently working with Vancouver producers Elisa Pangsaeng (GRAE, Said The Whale, LOLO, Yukon Blonde) and Jesse Gander (The Pack AD, White Lung, Brutus) on their debut EP which will be released in 2022.
