Hair Police

**Hair Police** is a experimental noise trio from Lexington, Kentucky, known for their visceral, boundary-pushing soundscapes. Formed in the early 2000s by Mike Connelly (later of Wolf Eyes), Robert Beatty (a multimedia artist celebrated for his surreal visuals), and Trevor Tremaine, the band crafts chaotic collages of distorted vocals, oscillating electronics, and mangled tape loops. Their work thrives on unpredictability, blending harsh noise, industrial clatter, and eerie improvisation into a sound that feels both confrontational and hypnotic.

Active for over two decades, Hair Police has released a slew of chaotic gems, including *Mercurial Rites* (2018) and *Certainty of Swarms* (2020), which showcase their knack for transforming dissonance into something oddly rhythmic. They’ve also collaborated with artists like Viki (on the *Hair Police Split: EP*), further cementing their status as noise scene stalwarts. Whether through live shows or recordings, Hair Police remains a thrillingly unhinged force in experimental music.
