My band, HEY FEVER (Updated with 'Break On Through' Cover)
« on: October 06, 2010, 09:48:35 AM »
About a month ago I joined an indie/rock band called Hey Fever. So far they're pretty established. They have just recorded a new six track EP, which is mixed and mastered by Berkfinger from Australian indie-pop sensation Philadelphia Grand Jury. The band has huge amounts of potential and I'm so happy to be a part of it. We're about to head out on a tour of Australia's east coast, and a couple of them are with some decent aussie acts (The Living End and Trial Kennedy).

Anyway, today is the release of our new single 'Ask Me'. Check out the video below and let me know what you think.

Please let me know if you hate it, honesty is what we need in order to advance.

Just sayin' NewGNR.com users are predetermined to hate anything associated with the word indie-

That said, good shit, I like it :thumbsup:

I'll give you a more in-depth (RANT) reply when you release another song to listen to :)

Dude! that's awesome!!! Seriously, that is awesome. And the video is great as well. I love it if truth be told, really impressed with it. I love your bass mix, it's nice and high, like bass should be :nod:
How about a pint of me?

Really glad you guys like it! Unfortunately it's not me on either the track or in the video. I joined just after both were recorded, so I'm missing from this first EP. I get the funner part though (touring!) I'll be in the follow up clip as well, and all future releases.

I'll be sure to keep you all posted as more stuff gets released  :rockon:

Yeah, stay with these guys dude. They're destined for bigger things than the pub scene.

You're going to go far - you certainly sound more unique than what you'd normally expect from the Aussie scene. I know you said you weren't on it, but make sure you make your presence felt! Good luck man you've done fucking well for yourself and plug NewGNR.com everywhere you go! :D

Way to go, Aussie. Now that's fresh. And they've got a singer that can sing. That drummer is tight, yet still organic. Good luck to you guys.

I wanna listen :'(
Roses are red
Violets are blue
Fuck you, whore.

Johan is not nuts. At least not anymore nuts than the rest of us. He is ruled by his own psychology, which includes jealousy that he cannot sing that high.

Thanks for all the kind words everyone. Everythings starting to pick up. Definitely not something 'typically aussie', which we're proud of. :lol:


Everyone that likes it (and even those who don't), could you please do me a HUGE favour and sign up, rate, and download the single from the below link? It'll help us chart on the site and potentially receive airplay on a big aussie station, as well as give us a leg to stand on in an upcoming meeting we have. The download is free regardless of whether you sign up, but I'd really appreciate it if you could give us a five star review with some kind words as well...

Thanks heaps for the support guys!

Cheers for that guys. It helped us get to 15 on the indie chart, and somewhere in the 60s on the overall. We hung around that mark for a couple of weeks and then dropped off.

We're half way through the tour at the moment. Went upto Sydney last weekend and played a couple of sick shows there and got asked back for some bigger and better nights for next time. We've got the Melbourne shows this week then upto Queensland next week.  :rockon:

If anyone hasn't checked out the track, please give it a listen and let me know what you think. EP will be out hopefully by the end of the year or early next year.

Figured I'd bump this up. Our EP is coming out May 6 and will be called 'Codes'. We've been hearing some good feedback on it all and are hoping it starts to help us grow a bit.

You can hear another track on our Unearthed profile now, which will be the lead single from the EP. The Video for it will be up very shortly. If you wanna rate/vote for us again, that'd be great. It's called Let Us Out To Play.

Also, here's a video of us playing 'Break On Through' by The Doors a couple of weeks ago.  Youtube comments are also very welcome
