I haven't been this excited about a band since I first heard The Virgins.
Incidentally, this band also sounds like my ever so beloved Strokes. Think The Strokes + of Montreal + Justice set in the late 70's/early 80's.
download both of these songs! you can't afford not to listen to this band. they know what they are doing.
Hockey - Song Away [mp3, HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!]
this sounds like the love child of Lou Reed and David Bowie.
Hockey - Too Fake [mp3, HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!]
more synth driven, this song shows off the eclectic palette of the Portland based band.
for fans of: good pop music, dancing, and clever lyrics

They opened for the Kaiser Chiefs at their L.A. show in November. I really liked them.
Their album is pretty good, but those two songs definitely are two of the best =-D
No problemo :)
I wasn't too exited when I first heard them, I find them a tad generic. I say that in the least offensive way possible.
btw my teacher is brother to the guitarist :)
Woah. Good call! (Thanks.)
thanks to everyone for the feedback!
