With many of their songs about "trying to make it" in the music business, Hockey are slowly going to run out of material to write about. Often compared to The Strokes and LCD Soundsystem, the Portland, Oregon new wave pop band have making new fans since they began in 2007.

Soon after, their home-made EP "Mind Chaos" in 2008 attracted attention from the likes of BBC Radio 1 DJ Zane Lowe. The band are now signed to Capitol Records in the US and Virgin Records in the UK.

The band's debut album Mind Chaos was released both in the US and in the UK in September 2009. They stopped by the Current studio for a live In-Studio performance.

Songs performed: "Work," "Song Away," and "Too Fake."
