Boston hardcore band Haywire puts Rubber Gloves on its 2027 map

Fresh off a Roadrunner debut, Haywire brings its I Don't Wanna Say Goodbye tour to Denton on Saturday, March 6.

Rubber Gloves was built for the kind of night where the front row sits about a foot from the singer's boots. On Saturday, March 6, 2027, that front row belongs to Haywire.

The Boston hardcore band announced a long 2027 run across North America, the UK and Europe last week, and Denton is on it, at Rubber Gloves Rehearsal Studio on East Sycamore. The routing puts Denton between an Austin show the night before and Albuquerque two nights later. GVLLOW and Dark Thoughts are listed as support. Tickets are through Prekindle.

The tour is named after the record the band put out this month. I Don't Wanna Say Goodbye arrived Oct. 2 on Roadrunner Records. It's Haywire's second full-length and their first for the label, following 2024's Conditioned for Demolition. The band formed in Boston in 2023. In three years they've gone from local hooligan hardcore to a major metal label. They're also opening for Turnstile and the Circle Jerks this fall.

The new album doesn't play it safe. Citizen's Mat Kerekes produced it, Taylor Young mixed it, and it was tracked in Leeds and Toledo with members of NOTHING and the Aggrolites dropping in. It opens with a rework of "That's Life." Yes, the Sinatra song. Reviewers have mostly been charmed by the turn. Kerrang called it "a brilliant new set of anthems." New Noise heard the band branching out into a more melodic direction "without abandoning the boisterous hooligan charm" of the early material. Songs like "Flex Your Head," "Interstate Love Affair" and "Forever Alone" lean more toward sing-along than circle pit, though the pit isn't going anywhere.

It opens with a rework of "That's Life." Yes, the Sinatra song.

That's why the room is worth noticing. Rubber Gloves holds about 270. For a band with a Roadrunner record out and arena opening slots this fall, that's a small room, and the kind of night that gets harder to find once a band's numbers catch up with its reviews. A touring band with this much momentum on a Saturday should sell the place out.

March is a long way off, and the full bill could still grow. But this is the kind of date worth buying early. Pull the Prekindle link from our show page, put it in your calendar, and learn the words to "That's Life" before you go. You'll be shouting them back at the band.
