The Heydaze - Artist Analysis


The Heydaze

The Heydaze are self described purveyors of 'windows down/stereo up' jams. They are heavily inspired by Oasis and Tame Impala, worshipping their unique sounds and anthem choruses. They formed in 2013 after meeting in college, and released their debut ep in 2015. 
They have an authentic chemistry and camaraderie as a band. 'We like cheering each other on', says Jesse, 'but we can also be brutally honest to each other without taking it personally'. This comes across in their music allowing them to create a unique blend of pop and alt-rock, with messages that truly resonate. Their lyrics are honest and relatable to their listeners. 'We want to write about, sing about, play about things that every person has felt, and then say it in a way they've never heard before,' says Alexander.
All the members are multi-instrumental, which helps their writing process. The fusion of their different styles and influences creates their evolving sound.

Alt-rock is a style of rock music that emerged from the independent music scene in the 1980s. Alternative refers to their indie origins, and the originality in the music that differentiates it from the rock genre. Nirvana could be described as alt-rock, as well as U2 and Muse. The Heydaze take influence from this genre, primarily the intense, high-energy verses that contrast emotional choruses and verses.
