Limited magenta colored vinyl LP pressing. When you name your band Prince Daddy and The Hyena, you sort of accept that chaos isn't a chapter in your story - it's the entire ethos. On their fourth album, Hotwire Trip Switch, they recalibrate and reconnect with their roots while sounding more focused and self-aware than ever. Reuniting with Joe Reinhart for the first time in nearly a decade, the album pulls from the punchy lineage of Green Day, the hook-driven quirk of Weezer, the snarky urgency of Joyce Manor and Jeff Rosenstock - all through the distinctly bratty lens of songwriter and vocalist Kory Gregory. He's backed by an airtight band including guitarist Cameron Handford, drummer and vocalist Daniel Gorham, and bassist Jordan Chmielowski. The album's title comes from a lyric on the track "Crash Taylor," and captures the chaotic, unstable, and sometimes unsafe energy that Prince Daddy and The Hyena thrive in. Ultimately, Hotwire Trip Switch is an album about surviving on borrowed time and borrowed electricity, pretending like somehow, that's a sustainable approach to life.
