Don't Just Stand There is the second album by the Canadian band Haywire.[1] [2] It was released 1987 via Attic Records.[3] "Dance Desire", a hit in Canada, was released as a single.[4] [5] The album sold more than 100,000 copies by the end of 1987.[6]
The band desired to make a harder album than their pop rock debut. They wrote 35 songs for Don't Just Stand There, although Attic asked them to work on more songs with cowriters. Ten of the album's 11 songs are from the original pool of 35.[7]
The Toronto Star called "'One Heart Affair' and 'Separate Dreams' are tightly crafted and rhythmically involving pieces of Top 40 rock."[8]
