HEDLEY

Rating: N


If only album titles could also act as self-fulfilling prophesies. Led by former Canadian Idol contestant Jacob Hoggard, Hedley pull out every trick they can conjure to breathe life into a dozen adolescent whiny pop-punk/radio-alt cookie cutters like opener She’s So Sorry, which comes off as poorly disguised Billy Talent worship. All of which does little more than highlight the fact that Hoggard is incapable of stringing together lyrics about anything other than self-obsessed teen angst.
