Band History
- Members
The original four band members included Ted Pauly, Rob Viola, Jeff Paretchan, and Ariel Serbin. They played together as Haywood from 1992 until about 1999. Danny Barria replaced Serbin for the remaining two years of the band's career.
Pauly (vocals, guitar), Viola (drums), Paretchan (bass, keyboards, backup vocals) and Serbin (guitar, backup vocals) first played together in a high school cover band called Garden Party in suburban Philadelphia, Pennsylvania (which also featured Lars Ro, later of Lampshade; and now in Sfu·ma·to). Despite airplay on college radio stations such as Lehigh University's WLVR, band members did not gain notoriety and moved to New York.
On Haywood's final album, original member Ariel Serbin is not credited as being a member of Haywood, since he departed from the band before their demise. He was replaced by Danny Barria and relegated to the list of thanks.
- Post-Haywood
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. They released their debut album Plans For Next Year in 2002.
In 2004, Haywood reunited to work on a set of new material that Pauly had written over the last few years. Their intention was to arrange and record a new album in the studio only. 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.
Viola and Paretchan also briefly played with Nashville-based singer-songwriter Carter Little.
Danny Barria is now one-third of the Brooklyn-based trio The Big Sleep.

The hills and waters o’er,
When a band of exiles moored their bark
On the wild New England shore.”
