East Hastings is a 1997 song by the Canadian rock band Godspeed You! Black Emperor from the album F♯ A♯ ∞ and is perhaps best known for its use in the film 28 Days Later in an edited version.
The song is named after East Hastings Street in Vancouver's blighted Downtown Eastside.
During an interview with The Guardian, 28 Days Later director Danny Boyle explained, "I always try to have a soundtrack in my mind [when creating a film]. Like when we did Trainspotting, it was Underworld. For me, the soundtrack to 28 Days Later was Godspeed. The whole film was cut to Godspeed in my head."
The song does not appear on the 28 Days Later: The Soundtrack Album because the rights for song could not be obtained.
