Haywood was an indie rock quartet from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania and Brooklyn, New York that was active from 1992 to 2000.
[2] While the band achieved only modest success in their eight years together, their third album We Are Amateurs, You and I was well reviewed, receiving an 8.2 rating on Pitchfork and praises from John Darnielle of The Mountain Goats.
The original four band members included Ted Pauly, Rob Viola, Jeff Paretchan, and Ariel Serbin.
After Haywood split up, Rob Viola and Jeff Paretchan went on to form The Red and the Black along with Tim Lauben and Michael Esper.
[citation needed] The album, As Long As There Is Track, I Will Not Go Back, was completed in early 2006, but was not released until March 2007.
