CONCRETE HYENA RETURN WITH KNOCK OUT NEW SINGLE ‘CUT ME MICK’
WATCH THE VIDEO HERE:
Formed in 2023, Concrete Hyena is a collaboration between vocalist Jay Butler, formerly of 90’s underground Punk heroes Realtv, and post-millennial Major Label USA chancers Grand Theft Audio – and producer Jim Davies, original guitarist for the fledgling dance act Prodigy, who penned the indelible riffs that would launch a million gurns, as well as being guitar slinger in the aural assault of Pitchshifter. Two battered refugees from the Nu Metal wars, joining forces together to bring about the downfall of mankind, aided by live by bassist Toshi formerly of the Professionals/Hey Hello!
Following debut single ‘Patchwork Guilt’, ‘Cut Me Mick, the ‘round 2’ second track from Concrete Hyena, is a sly musical homage to the toxic Rocky movie masculinity of the 80s. A sonic uppercut, it thumps like a sonic punchbag, floats like a butterfly and stings like an OG. A technical knockout and proof positive it’s not the size of the dog in the fight; it’s the size of the fight in the dog. Chin down, keep your guard up, and watch out for the hook.

With the album conceived and written over the preceding year, Concrete Hyena are a musical regurgitation of shared experience, post-millennial storytelling with a side order of powerhouse hooks, eternal optimism and mixed disgust, cock blocking beats and solid intent. Encompassing Butler and Davies shared love of both guitar and electronic music, it inserts multiple fingers into multiple genres – Hard.
Light and shade, power and control, volume and contrast, pleasure and pain in equal parts.
Concrete Hyena are a sonic headlock, a vocal half nelson – a technical KO.
Turn on.
Tap out.
Stay Down.
