Description: Haywire was formed in 1982, in Charlottetown, PEI by Dave Rashed, Paul MacAusland, Marvin Birt and Ronnie Switzer. For the next few years, the band toured constantly throughout the Maritime provinces playing wherever they could get a gig.

In 1984, Haywire won first prize in the Q104 Homegrown Contest; the prize being a chance to record a single. Instead, Haywire invested their own money and recorded a 5-track EP, entitled Haywire. It was around this time that Sean Kilbride joined Haywire replacing Ron LeBlanc on drums. In early 1985, Haywire performed in Labatt’s Battle of the Bands in Saint John, NB and again won first prize, $10,000. The prize money was used to record more material for the 5-track EP. When the EP was released in 1985, all 5,000 copies were sold.
