Steve Bays and Parker Bossley (lead singer and bassist of Hot Hot Heat respectively) have been working on a side project by the name of Fur Trade . They've gradually released four songs to date on their tumblr , and plan to stick with this format in revealing additional songs from their project. Steve Bays' unmistakable voice rings out over cool guitar riffs and a cleaner more stripped down sound compared to that of Hot Hot Heat's fired up anthems. So if you were wondering (like me) what these Canadian blokes had been getting [...]
In the wide realm of '90s TV shows for kids, with the limited acting skills and ridiculous plots, Goosebumps was one of the most memorable - more so for the awful acting than anything else. One of its episodes shares the same name as this next band, who make spines tingle in a completely different

On the Vancouver hockey riots… Steve Bays: Everyone came into town planning on recreating the riot from '94. Like there were people who had banners that said "Riot 2011" and stuff before the game even started. It was really disgusting. That's crazy. And especially because right where it happened was near one of the most kinda…infamous parts of Canada for desperately needing social funding for drug abuse and homelessness and stuff. There's a huge homeless issue. They're always cutting funding for social [...]

Filed under: News , Exclusive Frederick M. Brown, Getty Images It was a typical evening at kickoff of the Toronto International Film Festival Wednesday, Sept. 7. In a secluded basement with a capacity of just 100 souls, fashionably dressed locals gathered to catch a glimpse of Hollywood -- and support a good cause. Adrian Grenier , star of the soon-to-wrap ' Entourage ,' was supposedly on hand to host the War Child fundraiser event, which [...]
We take a look at several up-and-coming acts from this year's Outside Lands that may have been overshadowed by headliners like Arcade Fire and Phish. Their reputations for infectious and enthusiastic live performances is what earned them their time on stage, and also the reason for their surges in exposure after the festival ended less than two weeks ago. Look inside for audio clips.
Photo via Hot Hot Heat's Facebook page "Don't worry now, don't worry now. Don't worry cause it's all under control." If these lyrics do not bring to mind the dance-punk, indie boys in Hot Hot Heat , do yourself a favor and watch the video below, then scroll back up when you're finished. Hot Hot Heat has been providing their own breed of punk-laced, indie rock since the late '90s, and the reception has been well-received. From having their music featured in movies such as, John Tucker Must Die , to appearing on the [...]

Aunque los canadienses de Hot Hot Heat lanzaron apenas a mediados del año pasado su más reciente producción, Future Breeds , lo cierto es que no hemos escuchado mucho de ellos últimamente. Sin embargo, la banda sigue promocionando esta placa de diversas maneras, entre ellas con un nuevo vídeo para el tema "No Applause Allowed" , un lado B de este disco disponible sólo en iTunes como bonus track de la producción. El vídeo muestra primero al vocalista del grupo, Steve Bays, en un día aparentemente normal, interrumpido sólo [...]
HEY ROSETTA!(Indie Rock)Hey Rosetta! Welcome back! Last time we heard from these guys, they were promoting their newest album Seeds which was released in February. Today I'm back with another song from that album that I couldn't help sharing with you. As it was inadvertently stated by my intro to this post, the song is called "Welcome". I had to write about this song first for that fact, so,
![[Listen/Download] – New Song By Frantic Sunday – "The City Is Listening"](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/3354495_lg.jpg)
Remember when music was fun? When a simple formula of vocals, guitars, bass, and drum put a smile on your face because the band's enthusiasm infected you through the speakers? I find that those moments come farther and farther apart now, that bands seem less joyful than businesslike. Such cannot be said for Frantic Sunday. These Swedes have been kicking around for a few years, but "The City Is Listening" is the first track that has garnered them any blog-attention. The track is infectious, a throwback to when singles wormed their way into your brain and stayed there [...]

Eulogies come to us courtesy of Dangerbird Records; the home of the Silversun Pickups, Hot Hot Heat, Minus the Bear and Fitz and the Tantrums.

Now that the details are out of the way, let's get to the reason why i checked out this band in the first place. Their new album is titled Tear the [...]

Katy Perry - Hummingbird Heartbeat "This is a story of the birds and the bees" I am a big Travie McCoy fan, so Katy Perry may not be on my list of favorite celebrities, but I can't help but have her songs on repeat in my head, and singing and dancing in my little bedroom. Since I liked a lot of songs on the "Teenage Dream" album, I finally purchased the whole album yay! And it's pretty good. The album really does smell like cotton candy. The history between me and Katy Perry [...]
