Based out of Portland, Oregon, these four boys know how to get things done. Their infectiously upbeat sound has been compared to the likes of LCD Soundsystem, The Strokes, and Bear Hands (whom they recently toured with). Their signing to Capitol Records in the US (and Virgin in the UK) only seems to further prove that they're ready to take the world on by storm.
Single "Too Fake" has gotten them recognition all around. From airtime on radio stations across the country to being invited to play 2009's Bonnaroo Music Festival in Manchester, TN, the boys are doing their best to keep the good press coming. NME Magazine has even declared that we should all "get used to this band, they'll be around a lot."
Hockey will be touring Europe for a few more weeks in July before returning to the States to play Lollapalooza in Chicago on August 7th. After their debut album Mind Chaos drops in the US on August 25th, they will return to Europe for an extensive tour. US tour dates have not yet been announced.
