No, not the sport. The awesome, funky, LCD Soundsystem-esque band that is making their way through the blogosphere. That Hockey.
Hockey is hailed as a synth-laden version of The Strokes, or perhaps more accurately by Pinglewood.com: “if Julian Casablancas and James Murphy had met in 80s New York and become inseparable buddies, dragging each other in and out of CBGBs and Studio 54.”
The band is likely to be one of 2009′s big breakout artists, and their great single “Too Fake” shows off immense versatility. Starting out with a new-wave, electro opening and building to a catchy, poppy chorus, “Fake” should be on repeat for all PMA readers this week. Let me know what you think- a YSI download link is posted below.

Link Dead.
It’s been fixed.
Thanks :-.D
oh god, so good.
@ Hanan, where did you listen to their whole album, I can’t find anything about it.
link is dead again
These guys already failed once at a Major with boatloads of artist development $ and Jerry Harrison at the mixing board! If they couldn’t do it then, they’re certainly not making a comeback now.
