Fiona Hayes | Sugarcoat | Vash the Stampede

What is this?

Fiona Hayes Hailing from Saint Paul, Minnesota, Fiona Hayes is redefining pop-punk with a voice all her own—literally. Known for her signature layered harmonies and distinctive, emotionally-charged vocals, Fiona blends gritty vulnerability with sharp-edged power. Accompanied by Syan Blackwood on drums, Alex Radecki on lead guitar, and Zach Nelson on bass, she delivers sharp lyrics that cut straight to the core—songs about misogyny, survival, heartbreak, and reclamation. At just 15 years old, Fiona is a raw force in the modern alt-rock and pop-punk scene. Her sound channels the rebellious spirit of ’90s riot grrrl movement, drawing inspiration from iconic female-fronted bands and giving it a fresh twist that reflects today’s heavy, female-led punk resurgence. Currently working on her debut album, Fiona Hayes’ music bridges generations of women in rock while claiming her own space in the scene.
