Ned Hayden -Scene Loser Book
Ned Hayden -Scene Loser Book (self released)
I am not sure I know more of a polarizing character in music than Ned. Love him or hate him, dude has ridiculous stories of the NYC underground and even more ridiculous/strong opinions on basically anything that you can form a thought about. He also likely loves and hates you back, it really depends on the hour/day/month/year.
