HADDONFIELD
Haddonfield are:
Rhys - Vocals/Guitar
Eddie - Bass/Vocals
Jay - Guitar
Glenn - Drums
Haddonfield formed in late 2004
Their first 3 track demo, entitled 'And Deliver Us From...' was recorded in 3 days at a friends in-house studio in 2005 and was given out for free to people at shows.
GIGS
Haddonfield's first show was an Animal Rights Benefit show at TJ's in Newport, South Wales, on August 14th 2005.
Slowly the band began to build momentum and started to make a name for themselves on the local gig circuit by taking the attitude of not sticking within a scene and opting instead to play with whomever they could.
Constant gigging since has landed them gigs with:
The Misfits
UK Subs
Drongo’s For Europe
Osaka Pop Star (Ft Markey Ramone)
Against All Authority
4ft Fingers
The Drips
Adequate 7
Zico Chain
The Guns
Midasuno
Dopamine
Said Mike
and many local bands across the UK.
Their latest 10 date UK tour, with Lockjaw Records new signings A New Day, saw the band play 3 shows in Scotland for the first time.
Their next tour is scheduled for November.
Haddonfield have also played shows sponsored by Big Cheese magazine, Atticus Clothing and Xfm, and have sponsorship with underground clothing labels Dead Metal Clothing and 13 Dead.
RELEASES
2006 saw the recording of the bands first EP, 'Bar Brawls and Downfalls', which was part produced by both Greg Haver (Manic Street Preachers) and Nick Lloyd (Midasuno).
The CD was originally released in early 2007 on indie label Thousand Yard Stereo, but re-released in the spring of 2008 to co-incide with the tracks being made available as digital downloads by Seven Records. 'Bar Brawls...' received great reviews from international punk & rock press and they are still coming in. It was even given a big thumbs up from Trever Keith of the Californian punk rock band, Face to Face, whom the band are huge fans of.
April of 2007 saw the EP getting chosen as Record of the Week on Steve Lamacqs Online Radio show 6-music and both Channel 4 and Bomerang TV have used their track 'Panic' on their extreme sports programmes.
More recently, Subba Cultcha magazine have used the tracks 'Romero' and 'Panic' on their monthly podcasts and Radio 1, Radio Wales, Xfm, BRfm & Kerrang Radio have played 'Panic' several times.
Haddonfield are currently gearing up to return to the studio to record 10 brand new tracks for their forthcoming debut album. They recorded 2 exclusive new tracks for 'Panic' their 7" vinyl on Seven Inch Records with Midasuno's Chris Affixion in Cardiff early in 2008.

"This is one for those who want to hear some compelling, singalong, clever, moshable punk rock"..
Punkscene.co.uk
"Terrace styled harmonies and bleeding hooks as though they're fast going out of fashion"...
Losingtoday.com
"Gives more than just a passing nod to the likes of Avail and Face to Face... it's a relief to hear a band come out of South-Wales that isn't afraid to ignore the current musical fashion "...
Punktastic.com
"A nice change of pace from the pseudo-metal influenced crap so popular at the moment..a recommended listen"..
Trever Keith of Face to Face
"..Its simple punk rock with the attitude of Agnostic Front and the group vocals you'd expect to hear from the band and crowd at a Dropkick Murphys show.."
