Hedley are back and continues musical journey with their latest Juno-nominated fifth studio album "Wild Life." After the international success achieved with its lead single "Anything," the Canadian rock outfit is ready to impact the world with the next as they released a dark music video for their follow-up single "Crazy For You," which is a Justin Timberlake inspired dance/pop track with with a fury of flashy pop hooks hurled through a powerful disco-funk-pop production that just won't leave your head.
Hedley has their collective finger on the pulse of what is driving present day pop music, and the Vancouver pop rockers shows its positively wild side with their latest effort "Wild Life," which is all about channeling positivity, appreciating the little things around you and finding a way to always see the light at the end of the tunnel. On "Wild Life," the band toyed with a wide array of synths and electronic gizmos, espousing a pop sound that owes much to the slick '80s but is also very much aligned with the trends of the day. And the disco-fied "Crazy For You" totally takes its cue from Daft Punk's "Get Lucky."
Time after time, the guys of Hedley manage to churn out music videos that always seems to possess their unique brand of fun. Whether they're playing in the midst of a crazy house party ("Anything") or in the street as a pair of lovers meet thanks to the world's most dangerous meet-cute (a car crash in "Kiss You Inside Out"), the band never fails to impress us with their imagination. The frontman Jacob Hoggard and the boys of Hedley take a darker turn in their newest dark video for "Crazy For You," which was directed by J.Lee Williams and Timur Musabay.
We've always known that Hedley is a little kooky, but we never thought we'd actually see them in a pysch ward. In "Crazy For You" video, they literally go crazy as they are trapped and get locked up in a hyper stylized mental asylum, but break free their padded cells and go on the run from what appears to be hoards of crazed fans. Hedley only to discover the outside world isn't what they remembered it to be and may be in worse shape than inside the crazy house! The clip definitely sends the message of a crazy kind of love.

Canadian pop rock band Hedley has premiered their official music video for new song "Invincible." Featuring hip hop artist P. Reign, "Invincible" is the first confirmed track from Hedley's upcoming untitled album that will be released later this year or early next year, and we can't wait to hear more from the guys.
Forming in Vancouver, naming themselves after the nearby community of Hedley, the four-piece rockers take their brand of melodic, celebratory rock and roll below the 49th parallel, with charismatic frontman Jacob Hoggard leading the tight-knit Vancouver-based group which also includes bassist Tom McDonald, guitarist Dave Rosin and drummer Chris Crippin. They have headed back into the studio to start working on the follow up to their hugely successful 2009 release "The Show Must Go," that refreshing mix of lighthearted candor and emotional honesty lies at the heart.
They may not be rocket surgeons, saving lives or saving the world, but Hedley is clearly making a contribution to the music scene. They continue to prove that mixing frivolity with thoughtfulness and showmanship with songcraft is the best formula for success. Hoggard says the blend of new sounds and honest lyrics with Hedley's trademark fun-loving attitude was crucial to the band's evolution. "Staying current has always been very important to us and growing with our fans as well," he says. "We don't want to alienate people with left-turns in our music, but we also don't want to stagnate. I need to challenge myself and change things up because I have the attention span of a goldfish."
In a very touchy side to band, the usual jokesters take on an inspirational video and hit the nail on the head. The video for "Invincible" is a video portraying emotional vignettes of everyday people in the midst of life's battles, such as a young outcast girl, concerned and lonely; a boxer dripping with sweat, tired, drained, defeated looking; a young man that looks like he's been on the losing end of a fight, face bruised and cut, standing with crutches; a gymnast with her shoulders hung low, her confidence shaken; and a domineering middle-aged man sits next to her with his hand on her upper leg. She looks terrified. Her body language and bruises tell us the unthinkable is happening.
