IPSWICH-band Hayze are set to release their debut EP later this week.

The three piece band will do a live show at PJ McGinty's in Northgate Street at 7pm on Saturday to launch the EP.

A spokeswoman for the band said: “Fans are thrilled to have their local boys launch the EP in their home town.

“Hayze recently claimed their place on the stage at Ipswich Music Day to a crowd of 2,000 people winning over the hearts of the festival goers.

“Also recently back from a UK tour they gained fans in Glasgow, Newcastle, Leicester, Leeds and ending the tour in London. The tour was a great success and Hayze are looking forward to playing live shows in support of the EP soon.”

Entitled “Can't Take it Away,” the EP consists of three original songs from Hayze and the re-release of the track Contours.

The spokeswoman said: “Each track provides a combination of their high-energy guitar playing and powerful rhythmic drumming, rawness of vocals (think stone roses) and heartfelt lyrics. It is true classic indie rock.”
