Boston’s Hooray for Earth is one of the most exciting breakthrough indie bands of 2008, but have yet to receive the name recognition that they very well could get in 2009.
Since their debut album in 2006, it’s clear that the band’s music appeals to indie fans who like like poppy, keyboard and vocal driven music. The song “Take Care” from the band’s debut album is the type of songs you listen to when you’re in a good mood, or want to be in a good mood.
From their newest release the song “Want Want Want” is yet another memorable song that helps solidify the band’s talent and promise. There are other tracks on the band’s EP Cellphone, including “Warm Out”, that make us think they could be a band to watch in 2009.
