Music Monday: The Show Must Go by Hedley

Another new band for me! I like discovering new music!

The Show Must Go by Hedley will be released, in the US (already out in Canada with a different cover) on December 7th, and is their third studio album. 
The first official U.S. single is “Perfect” !

With charismatic frontman Jacob Hoggard (of Canadian Idol fame) leading the tight-knit Vancouver-based group, The Show Must Go features the work of a band that is already coming into its own.

Over four years, the band has won acclaim by earning two multi-platinum albums and a devoted fan base through a regimen of hard work and relentless touring. Produced by Brian Howes (Boys Like Girls, Hinder) and David Bendeth (Paramore, Breaking Benjamin) along with John Feldmann (The Used, Goldfinger) and longtime collaborator Dave Genn, the album showcases the enigmatic Hoggard, who combines the theatrical showmanship of Steven Tyler, Freddie Mercury and Billy Idol with the story-telling abilities of Billy Joel and Elton John.

Hedley worked with come of my favorite producers (David Bendeth (Paramore) and Brian Howes (Hinder, Daughtry), and came up with an album that is totally their own, but more polished. Hedley says their music as pop punk/rock, and I would say that's true, but add some electronic edge and top 10 pop, and you've got their sound. You may not start liking the songs on the first notes, but by the 2nd refrain, you'll find you can't get them out of your head!

This is a band you might want to listen to, as I think they'll be super popular with this album!
