Virgin Fest Montreal Not For Oldtimers

in
By Erik Leijon (CHARTattack) June 23, 2009 2:28 pm
I celebrated my birthday precisely one week before the commencement of Montreal's inaugural Virgin Festival. I'm not tragically geriatric by any means, but it's becoming increasingly evident I'm less capable than I was a mere half-decade ago. Case in point: Going to local Irish pubs reminds me how young people can shovel down Irish Car Bombs...

Hedley — Try This At Home

in
By Shehzaad Jiwani (CHARTattack) November 28, 2006 10:30 am
Hedley aim to up the trend of backstage footage of bands drinking and partying with an even higher level of debauchery. Join Jacob Hoggard and co. as they perform crazy stunts such as lighting their farts on fire and getting their asses tattooed. The DVD's Jackass vibe, complete with masochistic stunts, feels way too forced, and Hoggard's constant...

Hedley — Hedley

By Christine Estima (CHARTattack) October 4, 2005 3:44 pm
On this self-titled debut, Canadian Idol hopeful Jacob Hoggard and his band of merry outlaws deliver a mezzo-mezzo punk-pop album that, depending on your attention span, may or may not rock you. Recorded at Vancouver's legendary Armoury Studios, Hedley (aided by 54-40's Dave Genn), supply a plethora of moshable tunes ("Villain," "...

So, we all know Arcade Fire won everything at the 2011 Juno Awards. And Broken Social Scene played, and Tokyo Police Club played, and Neil Young was there, and Caribou won something, and Shad won something, and the ever-present spectre of Bryan Adams was kept to a near-dignified minimum. But all this feel-good righting of the music universe has...

As the Russian junior hockey team showed us yesterday, just when you think someone or a particular team's won, everything can change. All of a sudden your opponent can come out of nowhere and take the lead or win, and you never saw it coming. (Or in some cases, it might be because you were lazy and stopped trying because you thought the entire...

MuchMusic officially proved it cares more about the teenie bopper demographic than its former core audience of people who actually wanted to see real music at Sunday (June 20) night's MuchMusic Video Awards. Justin Bieber and Hedley walked away with three awards each, while Drake and Billy Talent both picked up two trophies. Other winners...

It's safe to assume Hedley won't join Ashton Kutcher on any upcoming cougar-hunting escapades. Although their "Don't Talk To Strangers" video is a spoof on 40-something femme fatales on the prowl, none of the guys in the band have actually had to deal with an aggressive, "experienced" woman. That may be for the best. One...

Hedley Wrote 45 Songs For New Album, Some Of Them Sucked

Three months. That's how long is took Hedley singer Jacob Hoggard to write the band's latest The Show Must Go album. The disc hit shelves last Tuesday, but Hoggard admits some of the original demos for the record were absolutely terrible. "We wrote 45 songs over three solid months," Hoggard says.

Hedley's video for "Don't Talk To Strangers" involves the band being kidnapped by a "MILF" who basically wants to torture and kill them all. Here's a hilarious look behind the scenes of the video.

Who else thinks Jacob Hoggard is dangerously close to looking like Adam Lambert with that hair, all that leather and the bondage gear? Yikes. This is like...
