Haywood were an indie rock quartet from Brooklyn, NY, and have been likened to Superchunk and Modest Mouse. The band achieved little success in their eight years together from 1992 to 2000, however their third and final album We Are Amateurs, You and I is widely regarded as the album which could have kick-started Haywood's rise to fame, had they not coincided the release with the announcement that the band had split up.
