The Hayburn Enclave

About Me

Forged on the mean streets of Glasgow early in 2006, the Hayburn Enclave are nothing short of a sonic kick to the nuts of the cappucino quaffing washed masses of the Mild West. The concept of band slowly festered in sonic mainman Donnie Murdo's mind after his compadre and collaborater "The Bod" was ejected from Fopp for complaining about them playing some insipid drivel by Belle and Sebastian. Why? Because that jingly jangly pish doesn't reflect your life or my life or the life of the average schmo on the street. The time has come to reclaim these streets from Stuart Murdoch's scarf-wearing disciples, and the revolution will be soundtracked by the Hayburn Enclave's beats. Its a jungle out there baby and this biography can only get angrier. Download the tracks and layback relax.
