Prince Daddy & the Hyena is an American emo and pop punk band from Albany, New York, formed in 2014 by vocalist and guitarist Kory Gregory, drummer Alex Ziembiec, and bassist Zakariya Houacine after attending a Rozwell Kid concert. The band blends elements of power pop, indie rock, and post-hardcore into energetic, slacker punk soundscapes characterized by fast-paced riffs and introspective lyrics. The current lineup consists of Gregory on vocals and guitar, Cameron Handford on guitar, Daniel Gorham on drums and vocals, and Adam Dasilva on bass, following lineup changes including Houacine's departure in 2019 and Ziembiec's in 2017. A pivotal moment came in November 2018 when the band survived a near-fatal van accident during a blizzard while returning from tour, an event that influenced their thematic depth.3 Their discography includes the debut full-length album I Thought You Didn't Even Like Leaving (2016), the sophomore effort Cosmic Thrill Seekers (2019), and the self-titled third album (2022), alongside earlier EPs such as Skip Cutscenes! Blow Loud! (2014) and Adult Summers (2015). The band's music often delves into heavy subjects like mortality, aging, and mental health struggles, as seen in the self-titled album's concept exploring Gregory's personal experiences, including a month-long psychiatric hospital stay during its creation. Signed to Pure Noise Records since 2019, Prince Daddy & the Hyena has built a dedicated following through relentless touring and releases that mix humor with emotional vulnerability.
