Hazen Street (also known as Hazen St.) is a hardcore punk supergroup that formed in early 2004.

The band features Freddy Cricien and Hoya of New York hardcore band Madball; Toby Morse of melodic hardcore band H₂O; David Kennedy of post hardcore band Box Car Racer, Over My Dead Body, and later Angels & Airwaves; and Mackie of The Cro-Mags & the Bad Brains. Chad Gilbert of Shai Hulud and later New Found Glory co-wrote and helped record every song on the album, but he was soon dismissed from Hazen Street by New Found Glory's record label due to a contract dispute. He was replaced by Mitts of Madball.

Band history

Hazen Street released their self-titled debut album, Hazen Street on Epic Records

On August 31st 2005, the band posted an update on their website, reporting that they would begin to work on a new record at the end of 2005, label to be announced. However, there has been no website updates since then, and nothing has been heard regarding this new album, presumably due to Kennedy's full-time involvement with Angels & Airwaves.

In November 2006, it was announced that their song "Are You Ready?" would be the official theme song for WWE Survivor Series 2006, the twentieth annual Survival Series pay-per-view. The event took place at the Wachovia Center in Philadelphia on November 26, 2006.
