Haywire formed in December 2023 and have operated entirely on their own terms ever since. In less than three years, the band played roughly 400 shows, including 96 shows in 101 days during the summer of 2024. Largely self-booked, their touring included all 50 US states within six months, arena shows across Europe with Dropkick Murphys, and a self-booked world tour.
Musically, “I Don’t Wanna Say Goodbye” pushes Haywire further toward anthemic hardcore and punk songwriting. Tracks like “Flex Your Head” and “Forever Alone” retain the band’s direct hardcore approach, while songs including “That’s Life,” “Interstate Love Affair,” “Sincerely Yours,” and “I Don’t Wanna Say Goodbye” lean into bigger hooks and sing-along choruses.
Producer Mat Kerekes (Citizen) played a major role in developing this more melodic direction, helping the band expand the hooks and anthemic qualities throughout the record.
