I'm not going to lie and say I didn't choose to preview the band Hockey because I love the sport. That's totally the reason. I was half-expecting to find a band about as entertaining as Five for Fighting, but I think Hockey has the chance to be an interesting emerging band.
Hockey is a four-member group from Portland, OR. They will be releasing their debut album, "Mind Chaos," in late August.
A lot of people label the band as a mix between the Strokes and LCD Soundsystem, and I'd have to agree. The lead singer sounds a lot like Julian Casablancas (lead singer of the Strokes) with the occasional inflections of James Murphy (LCD Soundsystem). From listening to their recorded material, I could see them being a fun band to go see live. Their songs have good energy with dancy beats. I'm planning on checking them out at Lollapalooza.
Check them out on Myspace.
