Hello Kelly is the rock you've always longed for. It's the rock that takes other music and adds what you always thought it needed.
It's the grittiest alternative and the hardest rock and the catchiest pop - with melodies that drill into your mind and synth that drills into your throat. It's the kind of honest story-telling that makes your friends wonder what you're smiling about. It's the kind of show that makes you rock out like nobody's business and has enough class to make your grandmother join the mosh pit.
Hello Kelly is five young men who, after doing time in
their own musical endeavours, decided to unite and give birth to something truly original and innovative. Frontman/songwriter Francois Goudreault Jr. says this about their goal: "I remember when rock and roll was something that people talked about. I remember my parents filling my ears with Van Halen, The Scorpions, and Triumph - when conversations around the barbeque were about an artist's latest guitar effect, not an artist's latest clothing line. I want people to remember Hello Kelly like that." So why Kelly? Kelly is the poster girl for every typical teenage anthem. Front-row at a punk show, or hard-rocking in the hallway walking, Kelly is listening to rock and roll and appreciating every moment of it. She has got her tastes and her opinions, but she has also got her insecurities. The world pushes Kelly around; putting words in her mouth and thoughts in her head. There is a band who wants Kelly to wake up and make her own decisions, build her own dreams and define her own beliefs. Wake up and face the world Kelly, give rock and roll a new name. Coming onto the scene as a brand-spanking new band isn't always easy, but this is a challenge that Hello Kelly meets with clenched fists. In Spring of 2004, Francois worked with jamie k... (Thousand Foot Krutch) to produce Hello Kelly's debut EP: Modern Day Nostalgia. "I think everybody has moments when they wish they could be in their backyard playing with army men and skipping ropes - because those moments were never fake or constructed, like so much of life is today. Everybody's always going to have good memories from their childhood, and that's what we're trying to trigger with this project." Hello Kelly is rock for the good times and the bad times. "There's a strong spiritual element to our music because we try to let our own beliefs infiltrate the art; that's the best way to make it unique and personal. It's not about promoting a religion or telling people what to believe - it's about putting our experiences out there and letting the art speak for itself. Hopefully that makes people move: at the rock show and in their perceptions."
