The Show Must Go
Line up all the Idols

Tryin’ to ride the fast track for free
There’s been no free ride in Hedley’s steady climb to the top. Over four years, the Vancouver band has earned two multi-platinum albums and won acclaim and a devoted fan base through a constant regimen of hard work and relentless touring. Nor is there an ounce of phoniness in the group, led by irrepressible frontman Jacob Hoggard, a former Canadian Idol contestant himself. In fact, much of Hedley’s huge appeal lies in the band members’ refusal to take themselves too seriously.
“We’re not rocket scientists—or rocket surgeons,” chuckles Hoggard, about himself, bassist Tom MacDonald, guitarist Dave Rosin and drummer Chris Crippin. “We’re the same jerks we’ve always been, four buddies who like to have fun and make music. But our show is no longer about flashing lights and us running around pulling our pants down. We’ve really grown as writers, musicians and performers, so now it’s the full entertainment package.”
That refreshing mix of lighthearted candor and emotional honesty lies at the heart of The Show Must Go, Hedley’s much-anticipated third album. Working with four producers—Goldfinger’s John Feldman (The Used, Story of the Year), Dave Genn (Matthew Good Band), industry veteran David Bendeth (Paramore, Breaking Benjamin) and long-time collaborator Brian Howes (Hinder, Daughtry), who won a 2007 Producer of the Year Juno Award for his work on Hedley’s debut—the band has pushed its robust sound forward without sacrificing any of its distinctive edge.

S9DallasOz, I totally agree. Cha-Ching is a fun fluff song about pop culture but I'm really glad the rest of the CD is so different. I'm loving the entire CD, especially "Friends", "Hands Up", "Perfect", "9 Shades Of Red", "Shelter", "Amazing" and "Goodbye".

I actually think it's a better album than "Famous Last Words", 1st 2 singles weren't the greatest representation of it.

Ok. The new album is fucking crap. 3 ok songs and even then after 2 listens it gets old. And what the hell is with them charging 50 bucks a show now? I remember first time i saw Hedley I payed 15.......Jacob thinks hes some huge rockstar. God dammit his head needs to be deflated a bit I think.

I really like Hedley, i don't understand all the hate on here for them but then again if i constantly heard them on the radio where i live i probably wouldn't like them so much either, thankfully though i don't.
