cool indie band from Abbottsford, BC

Post by forsaken_olp »

hello everyone.
i recommend checking out this awesome band called Hedley from Abbotsford, BC. they are unbelievable! you can d/l a ton of their songs and the band members post on their forum all the time.

http://www.hedleyband.com

their lead singer is currently in the top 6 of Canadian Idol 2. i know that sounds lame, but honestly give Hedley a listen. i guarantee you won't be dissapointed. :mrgreen:
and when you climb up to your hill, up to your place, i hope you're well

What would happen if the singer won Canadian Idol? Do you think the entire band would get a contract or something?

Let me make this clear. I run the racket on promoting indie bands on this board. Do not step on my feet, or I will cut you.
I faced death. I went in with my arms swinging. But I heard my own breath and had to face that I'm still living. I'm still flesh. I hold on to awful feelings. I'm not dead... My chest still draws breath. I hold it. I'm buoyant. There's no end.

Whenever death may surprise us,
let it be welcome
if our battle cry has reached even one receptive ear
and another hand reaches out to take up our arms.


Nobody's gonna miss me, no tears will fall, no ones gonna weap, when i hit that road.
my boots are broken my brain is sore, fer keepin' up with thier little world, i got a heavy load.
gonna leave 'em all just like before, i'm big city bound, your always 17 in your hometown

Queens Of The Stone Age-Someone's In The Wolf

Once you're lost in twillights's blue
You don't find your way, the way finds you...

Tempt the fates, beware the smile
It hides all the teeth, my dear,
What's behind them...

So glad you could stay
Forever

He steps between the trees, a crooked man
There's blood on the blade
Don't take his hand

You warm by the firelight, in twilight's blue
Shadows creep & dance the walls
He's creeping too..

So glad you could stay
Forever

HEY GUYS, yeah i'm bumping a ridiculously old thread. almost a year. but it's WORTH IT.

Hedley signed with Universal, and have their debut CD coming out September 6th.

they're sort of on tour, playing random shows here and there, and will be intoronto sept 8th @ the mod club (im coming home from university just for the show).

their debut single "on my own" was recently released, with a video in early august.

FINALLY, the band i've been obsessed with for the past year is coming out with something! I AM RIDICULOUSLY EXCITED.

p.s., their singer is the guy who's been my avatar for the past year.
you have to, you just have to trust me
whoever i was then i can't ever be again
the faith you've found i've never felt
the terror held in wedding bells
the comfort in "there's no one else"
the truth be told, i'm never going to know
