FieldHockey

What the puck is FieldHockey?!?!?

Post-Hardcore heavy hitters from scenic city Chattanooga, TN. FieldHockey began as a pop-punk project back in 2019. Enon Harris had just been let go from the Alt-Prog metal group “Ten-Year Flood” with guitarist Michael Avakian and bassist Joey Scruggs. Head up, he went in search of another creative outlet and found the early makings of FieldHockey with drummer Brad Moss and bassist Justin White. In need of guitar, Enon recruited ex-bandmate Joseph Scruggs and FieldHockey was a go!

Under this lineup, they released a demo with Noisy Cricket studios and 7 singles with Breaker 17 studios. For the next two years FieldHockey played countless packed out events, including an opening slot for The Funeral Portrait, known for their billboard #1 hit song “Suffocate City”. Other performances include a show with the legendary Wine Lips at JJ’s Bohemia and Valley Vibes Music and Arts festival (multiple years) with over 800 fans in attendance.

In 2022, struggles within the band lead to the loss of guitarist Joey Scruggs and an indefinite hiatus. Finally, in October of 2023 the spark was relit with the addition of two new members. Michael Avakian and Jake Hixson joined the group sharing the position of co-lead guitar.

With new members came a new direction. These new guitarists worked to maintain the punk rock essence of the band but also brought a natural metal flair into the mix. This resulted in a re-establishment as a Post-Harcore powerhouse.

June 1st, 2024. FieldHockey released their first single with todays line up “Ecdysis”. It took longtime fans by surprise with it’s fresh aggressive approach, earworm chorus and earth moving breakdown.

Since then, they have released four other singles. All of which contributed in raising the band to the next level. “Taxes On Taxidermy” features Taylor Barber of Left To Suffer who was on tour with Tool at the time of the release. “Mazes” was the first release with an official music video and it received 12,000 views in its first week. Lastly, “Common Trope” gained them the attention of Kevin Lyman, founder of Warped Tour. Shortly after, it was heard by Warped Tour talent buyer, Amanda Phelan. It was received so well by the two that it secured FieldHockey a performance at Vans Warped Tour Orlando 2026.
