NEW MINI ALBUM ‘FUTURE PRIMITIVES’ TO BE RELEASED JULY 31ST VIA ARMALYTE INDUSTRIES – PRE-ORDER 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!
Featuring the singles ‘Cut Me Mick’ and ‘Patchwork Guilt’, their crushing debut mini album ‘Future Primitives’ is released this coming July 31st via Armalyte Industries and will be preceded by new single ‘Hi! I’m Radio Mike’, which is out on Friday 3rd July. The single comes with two new remixes by dARKMODE and The Joy Thieves.
‘Hi! I’m radio Mike!’ is Concrete Hyena’s feel good summertime ode to long lost autonomy. It’s a pulsating electronic clash of genres that tangles the listener up in its throbbing beats and guitar blasts.
“It’s a sonic love letter to the hit machines and radio stations that keep workday toes a’ tapping and empty minds fapping, with its tongue firmly in its cheek,” explains frontman Jay Butler. “This clash of irony and disco will carry you through the next 3 minutes 40 of life’s scorching monotony like an aural life raft – your productivity is UP – your thinking is DOWN – but promotion awaits … now just sing me to the middle of a panic attack.”

With the ‘Future Primitives’ mini album conceived and written during 2025, 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. Concrete Hyena are a sonic headlock, a vocal half nelson – a technical KO.
Also featured on the album are appearances by Jason Bowld (Bullet For My Valentine / PWEI) and Ritch Battersby (The Wildhearts).
