“Based out of Portland, Oregon, Hockey's appeal lends itself to a wide variety of music enthusiasts, from those interested in more lyrically driven rock 'n roll, such as Dylan or Springsteen, or the more contemporary audiences that favor the Strokes or LCD Soundsystem.”
Walker Glascock, Flavorpill
Hockey are individually from all over the United States, via band stints in Los Angeles, Spokane and Portland – To quote a line from I Wanna Be Black – all the band’s witty, biting lyrics are written by Ben – “everyone’s making dance music now true, but we started in 2002”. ‘When we started making music’ says Ben, ‘we wanted to make music that people could have fun to at the parties we played.’ ‘We wanted to make dance music that was infectious,’ says Jerm. ‘Almost like: this is a band but it might as well be a DJ.’ ‘We didn’t want to just get up and do our thing,’ says Ben. ‘We want people to react. That was our deal.’
