There may be a keytar and admirably angular indie haircuts, but make no mistake, Hilary Duff tour mates Hello Operator are nothing more than a pop-punk-mall-rock duo created to make lots of money, take over radio, and score Juno nominations in the next couple years. They managed to avoid over-produced, boy-band-with-guitars pop like Simple Plan (...

Hello Operator @ NXNE 2007

in
By Matt Littlefair (CHARTattack) June 11, 2007 12:00 pm
Background/Composition: Five guys who play a very poppy yet heavy mixture of straight ahead rock couloured with a couple of new wave influences thrown in for a little variety. Grade: 72 Comment: Non-threatening pop-rock was the name of the game. Hello Operator aren't looking to break any new ground when it comes to radio-friendly rock...

Hometown: Toronto,ON Background/Composition: New Wave meets Weezer. Grade: 76 Comment: Hello operator, please give me number 9, and if you disconnect me . .. meh, nothing will happen.

Hello Operator Benefit From Hilary Duff

in
By Jared Moreno (CHARTattack) January 25, 2008 4:30 pm
If you're one of the many bored e-surfers who like to waste time trolling though the Toronto Musician classifieds on Craigslist, you might have seen a fairly innocuous "bassist wanted" ad posted by a group called Hello Operator.
