The Overlooked Masters of Noise Rock | Ep. 254: Laughing Hyenas

I listened to every album by Laughing Hyenas. Formed in Ann Arbor, Michigan by John Brannon (of hardcore punk band Negative Approach) and Larissa Strickland (of L-Seven) in 1984, Laughing Hyenas were a noise rock band who fused elements of garage rock, punk, blues, and Birthday Party insanity. Their struggles with heroin led to chaos as the years went on, including Brannon vomiting on Drew Barrymore right before a show.
