About Hayride Casualties
Everyone would agree that we live in strange, uncertain times, yet too much of the music we listen to fails to reflect this sense back to us. Hayride Casualties is one band defined and driven by the political and ecological crises of our age. Their debut album Fossil Fuel Kid infuses the spirit of 60s protest music with the unprecedented content of modern times, cherrypicking vibes from indie, folk, bluegrass and vintage rock to forge a sound fitting for an important message. The album was recorded, mixed and mastered at Behind the Curtains Media studio by Michael Abiuso. A number of guest musicians contributed to the record, including drummer Tim McCoy (Darwin Deez, Field Mouse, formerly Savior Adore) and bassist Chris Bordeaux (formerly The Isles and Rahim).The album is out for sale now on Bandcamp and all major platforms. Hayride Casualties was started in 2013 by published songwriter, award-winning poet, former community organizer and political activist Daniel DeWald. The band performs in conventional music venues as well as environmental meetings, protests and fundraisers in the New York area.
What the press are saying
These are tumultuous times we are living in and throughout history, the people tend to fight back against oppression, and the abuse of our natural environment. Since the con-men in charge have determined that our drinking water is less-important than the depth of their pockets – more protest songs are hitting us lately and if history serves true, the next few years will be golden with amazing tunes like “The Catskills Ain’t For Sale.” – Pancakes & Whiskey (premiered “The Catskills Ain’t for Sale”)
“Coal Fired Train” is contemplative, compelling, and draws you into it’s progressive build.” – GroundSounds (premiered “Coal Fired Train”)
Imagine if a band took all the best bits of all the bands you like, rolled them up and made an eps that smoked your hifi speakers.” – Americana UK / Horseshow Lounge Music (Vale Radio)
It’s an album that can be folk and acoustic one moment, and polished indie rock the next. Musicianship is tight and of a high standard, vocals are just right whatever direction each song might take.” – Beehive Candy
I give this album a 9/10. I believe it is exactly what music today is lacking, a sense of purpose and meaning. I hope young adults will listen to this and feel empowered to change the world that we’re living in.” –Fountainhead Focus
