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.
