By Cat Schaupp April 30, 2013 Here at Muso's Guide, we got pretty stuck in to the build up for Record Store Day 2013 . In between vainly attempting to reduce our list of desired records from this year's releases down to a reasonable number, we got chattering away to record companies around the country about their involvement with the big day in the attempt to find out what life is like on the other side of the till. In addition to being a significant day for record stores wanting to increase their [...]

Men Without Hats continues to soar to the highest peaks of '80s kitsch, and it’s always fun. The band's latest serving, “This War,” off Love In The Age Of War (Cobraside), could have been a chart-topper 25 years ago, if it weren’t for the shiny production that clearly indicates it to be a song from this [...]

Since all this action costs precisely nothing, what are you waiting for? All the download links await after [...]
by Bill Pearis DOWNLOAD : Men Without Hats - This War (MP3) '80s electopop group Men Without Hats are still at it, having released their seventh album, Love in the Age of War , earlier this summer which was their first in nearly 10 years. The album finds the band much as you may remember them, all pulsing sequencers and synths with Ivan Doroschuk's distinctive baritone powering overtop. You download "This War" at [...]
Montreal's Men Without Hats will soon be taking their timeless performance back on the road in support of their new album Love In The Age of War (out now on Cobraside Records).

Hearing about this made up do a double take. The band responsible for "The Safety Dance" is touring this summer. Yes, that's right Men Without Hats . We really don't have any more to comment on that fact. What's left to say? Perhaps we should mention the New York City stop in Brooklyn at Brooklyn Bowl on November 30? Yeah, that's a good idea. Men Without Hats tour dates: 09/05: San Diego, CA @ 4th & B 09/06: Henderson, NV @ Henderson Pavilion 09/08: [...]
Anyone who's been hankering for a new album from the band that brought us The Safety Dance and Pop Goes the World is in luck as Men Without Hats is at it again with a new song off the upcoming album, Love in the Age of War . Interestingly, this iteration of Men Without Hats consists of frontman Ivan Doroschuk and some hired guns, but without brothers Stephan and Colin. Oddly enough, Stephan supposedly plans to continue working independently under the name Men Without Hats as well. Thus, it should be interesting to see where this feud [...]

The "13 is for effort! Cobraside, 2012 1.0 / 10.0 International communism is responsible for –conservatively- 100 million murdered human beings in the 20th century. Numbers like those are so huge and abstract (what did Stalin they say about tragedies and statistics?) [...]
Men Without Hats: “Love In The Age Of War” It's time to “Safety Dance” (if you want to) all over again. Ivan Ivan (he of the deep baritone) and Men Without Hats returns with a brilliant and super catchy CD packed full of retro-sounding danceable keyboard driven pop sure to make you dance.

Men Without Hats are veterans. If you missed the '80s, chances are you haven’t missed the '80s-themed dance parties that followed, and Men Without Hats are a staple. Two words: "Safety Dance." Although new-wave dance music can sound anachronistic, the band’s new single, “Head Above Water,” off Love In The Age Of War (Cobraside), manages to [...]
photo: Jam Hamidi Vintage New Age for the 21st Century. Montreal band Men Without Hats can never escape the shadow of their monster hit The Safety Dance , so ever since after returned to the stage in 2010 it has been of their live show. Thankfully they decided to come up with a batch of new songs to keep things interesting for themselves. Love in the Age of War is an album that doesn't explore unchartered waters. If this was a new [...]

Men Without Hats - Head Above Water Press Release: It has been 30 years since Men Without Hats asked the world to dance (if they want to), and this year the Montreal New Wave group will ask the [...]
When an act is identified closely with a certain time period, it becomes very hard to separate them from that time and place. That makes it very difficult to deal with new material within a current context. That's definitely the case with Men Without Hats and their forthcoming album Love In the Age of War (out May 22nd). The band's style really hasn't changed all that much over the years. The fidelity is sharper, and the production values are better, but the synth-pop sound of songs like "Devil Come Around" will [...]
