American rock band from Michigan led by vocalist John Brannon, active primarily 1985–1995. Known for a raw fusion of blues, punk and noise-rock.

Led by John Brannon (formerly of Negative Approach). Reviews and public sources describe the band as fusing blues with noise-rock/hardcore, with recurring themes of addiction, despair and urban ruin. Core members mentioned in DeBaser reviews include John Brannon (vocals), Larissa Strickland (guitar), Kevin Strickland (bass) and Jim Kimball (drums).

Three DeBaser reviews praise Laughing Hyenas' blend of blues and noise-rock and John Brannon's extreme vocal delivery. Reviews repeatedly highlight themes of addiction, despair and bleak urban realism. Albums singled out include You Can't Pray A Lie, Life Of Crime and the Crawl EP.

For:Fans of visceral 80s alternative, noise-rock, blues-infused punk and hardcore.

 The music of his Laughing Hyenas was sad, tragic, without escapes, illusions or hopes whatsoever.

 The voice of the damned, the cries of the desperate, the bites of sudden withdrawal, just one shot, one injection to go, along the grooves of this Ep.

 A ferocious and deviant sound assault, precursor and father of all those psychotic deviations indoctrinating groups like Isis and Converge.
