Avery Laird’s “Hairpin” Showcases the Magic of Indie Rock

Your days might just get a bit more mellow with this sweet release from Avery Laird. This Toronto-based musician has seriously mastered that perfect blend between grunge and folk that just hits different.

"Hairpin" doesn’t mess around – it delivers raw, honest lyrics about heartbreak that’ll have you feeling those emotions right alongside him. The earnestness is almost overwhelming in the best way possible.

That gravelly guitar? It’s the backbone of everything here. The track builds beautifully from light to heavy, layering in more instruments as it goes.

But here’s the thing – there’s this harmony that kicks in on the second chorus line that’s absolutely crucial. You’ll know it when you hear it because you’ll immediately want to hit replay just for that moment.

This serves as the second single from Laird’s upcoming debut LP, Sleepwalker. Can’t wait to see what else he’s got in store.
