Hockey - Song Away (Later Live... with Jools Holland)

[Redderson4571]

The drummer looks like a young Ringo Starr

[leekeehin]

found my doppelgänger. drummer looks like an older porn version of dave grohl. lmao. great song anyways.

[leekeehin]

they deserve to get much BIGGER!

[MrAshAudacious]

wish i was there in the BBC studio - everyones tapping their feet enjoying themselves. and Sunglasses inside? the guitarist thinks he's in Glasvagas..

[Geodrin34]

I figured it out. He sings more of a falsetto in the studio, but in live shows he's always trying to sing louder, more folk type singing. This makes up for the difference in both sound and range of his voice.

[tonywalker1331]

The whole band is awesome you tone deaf asshole! Do you have a dick in your ear idot!

[johnstonw51]

It's the bass thats so loud and out of tune, not the guitar. The bass player is jumping around like an idiot and the singer can't sing. They choked. At least the drummer is awesome.

[KsideHb]

tune the guitar and stop the messing around with the vocals, i would have been embarassed to invite these guys to my show

[blindrain1]

This isn't as bad as all of you are saying

[1611]

well those of you who are complaining that the studio version is better, it's probably because you prefer polished and over produced sound.

This is more raw version.... and i LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! he has a beautiful and very strong voice.

And about the way he sings in this video - i reckon it would be boring if he'd sing the song always the same way...

[sabint123]

@1611  his voice is amazing in every single live performance i dont know how he does it but damn i like it

[masieI92c]

YESSSSS! :)

[notall3]

I mean Jesus he sounds like he's trying to remember the lyric "this is small town music......" there isn't that much of a pause buddy that's all one lyric. It's really too bad he sucks live

[notall3]

The lead singer needs to stop messing around and actually sing the song. That sounded terrible

[SuperJoey16]

It doesn't have the same kind of oomph the studio version has, but I love his voice nevertheless

[paperDreams2010]

man ben is an amazing singer :) and stfu this is better than the studio version

[JamesEPowell]

Sometimes I think Lou Reed should be suing half the bands out there

[ohhhhhdavid]

@JamesEPowell that's retarded. good music is built on previous generations of great music.

[ButtHaver1993]

it's a shame he can't sing... but they're so good! i actually loved too fake before they performed here but only discovered this song on here... amazing!

[CutieLynnie]

Woah...Ben is so cute :)

[omnipitantlyoriginal]

The drummers moustache is awsome in a right of its own.

[ericelawrence]

This reminds me of John Cougar Mellencamp.

[MrMarrman1]

2:18 amazing!

[thatsnotmyname69]

they're too cool for their own good.

damn it.

[meganhopesullivan]

aah... love them :) <3

[Flynno82]

Dam I like this tune but the Jools Holland Sound guys ruined it for them.. and the Bass player should sack his Bass tech...!!!

[TopCatLewiii]

bass is seriously out of tune!

[heymileymiley]

DO THEY FROM POLAND OR ???

[JaThCa96]

@heymileymiley Portland :) wherever that is lol

[Itsblitzday]

@JaThCa96 portland is in Oregon in the US if you didn't know that.

[kutiekatz90]

i love the little dance he starts doing at 2:27 haha

[heymileymiley]

@kutiekatz90 HAHA

[EnterUnclear]

The ending rocks!

[Raphaelling]

brilliant!

[agcr1]

The frontman is genious, I must say.

[agcr1]

Just came from seeing them at the Drunken Unicorn, sound was not that good over there, TOO LOUD!!

[ivan2015]

niiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiceeeeeeee­eeeeeeeeeeee....Dire Straits

[cbradshaw315]

This song has gotta be an obvious knock at Mellencamp or Springsteen....love it.

[corporateohio]

that guitar is so out of tune. bass doesn't sound too hot either, sucks that they'd let that happen on their first (?) TV appearance. still love the band though

[SoshiJacks]

definitely one of my feel good songs:)

[TheAndersonfranca]

Fabulous band! They got me! Now, i'm the biggest fan around the world!

[iLikeSoup01]

i didnt know the frontman was so cute haha

these guys are so fun i can't wait to see them

[grrenboys]

大好きです(＾ω＾)

[RadioWar1212]

so gay

[slvrstnthb]

love it!

[worldonastrng]

What a blatant rip off of Velvet Underground. These guys get two thumbs WAY down.

[danimagne]

i don`t get the connection with the VU, these Guy do 80`s Pop?!?

[BonnieMint]

velvet underground??? WTF you cant even compare hockey with that shit band.

[olsensenke]

Well it's about Roxy Musics "Virginia Plain"! This first single was out in 1972.

Bryan Ferrys song lyrics to Virginia Plain opens with the same as Song Away:

Make me a deal, and make it straight and Hockey also say: This aint no roxy music

As Seattle Music writes:

Song Away" name-checks Roxy Music and goes so far as to claim I like to let you know I'll always be straight with you. It's all meta as fuck, but since these beats sound as good as they do, we'll bite.

[we900]

i hate that guy in the beginning

[zaidabanksnyc]

Wonderfull!!!!!!!!

[ZuuDeadZone]

i love it :P

[eternallife29]

great performance :)

[atort13]

Nice!

[suselumse]

love this song! <3

[pdmo]

I think they sound like Tom Petty And The Heartbreakers, at least w/ this song, which is an amazing one.

[rfarrel2]

the lead singer sounds like bob dylan, looks jamie kennedy (comedian), and dresses like that jessie guy that won the MTV 'who wants to be a VJ' contest like 10 years ago. This band is legit

[DiegoMaradona1O]

cool band

[missclau02torres]

i like more the live version (:

[ricodonna]

yeah all i can say is yeah a good rock n roll song!

[JOES3564]

i watched this on later with jools holland , love it immediately, even my dad likes this song :)

[kentbrockman5]

this is class i knew it would be a hit the first time i heard it

[kvikmyndabio]

i like the studio version better,this is not that good but this is a good song

[Metalfkuc]

holy, the bass is a bit out of tune but that's rock n roll, looove it!

[f1a5c0]

LuV diz song.. but... LOL! Ben is a HYPER-ACTIVE kid! LOL! he dont stop moving!! LOL! dats WEIRD+FUNNY+WTF??!! LOL!

[TheShaymus]

Loving the double-team drums, definitely elevates the performance to something a little bit special in my opinion.

[0307026d]

Excellent

[shanester71]

Your second track is just a song away!

[emale777]

I love this song, but this live version sounds like it's been done by a poor cover band!!

[tiagopsc]

stupefacenti !

[chickburg]

tis song okay okay nia.....

[ajpatman]

what the hell is philby37 on about? are you not watching, he is playing the "driving bass line" haha u nugget

[miguelhp1]

Amazing!

[backyardigan99]

adoro essa musica

[philby37]

This is a great song and obviously a very good band, that have lots of fun, the thing that troubles me here is that its supposed to be live but the bass player doesnt appear to be playing the driving bass line throughout the song!

[2n2equals5]

He definitely is for two reasons: 1) this is Live on Later!, they have a strict 100% live music policy, and 2) if you listen, he's not always fully in time with the drums. I think what we're looking at is a case of competent bassist.

[Satansgoat666]

this is shit compared to the studio version

[fao4shka]

@Satansgoat666

I like the ending and the realness of it:D

Both are still epic

[elizzerulestheworld]

@Satansgoat666

Awesome, I already loved it when I saw this yesterday live on tv ^^)

[neilnh]

This song is shit hot

[bvnguyen1979]

This band is from Portland Oregon. PDX rocks!!!!

[KrisTeamBolton]

Love it

[RadioWar1212]

It seems all indie bands are getting more and more homosexual

[arctictoondude252]

LOL

[InnerCityLightsVideo]

It seems like you are to worried about the bands look than the music itself. You should stop listening to music altogether and just watch fashion shows.

[RadioWar1212]

The music isn't good. And i do already watch fashion shows

[slvrstnthb]

wtf ur lame.

[RadioWar1212]

If i am lame....hockey must be a unknown term....like Uberlame

[slvrstnthb]

nope ur just lame every loves them.

[something2remember]

i dont agree quite but ÜBERLAME, is a Überword... great!!

[thefeelingcovers]

Great song, love everything about this performance of it, the handclaps, the build-up to one final frantic drumming frenzy! very decent live band =]

[AdotS]

Nice song

[Mistercal84]

Get your album on Spotify!

[Mistercal84]

TUNE

[markillingworth1972]

wow. what can i say?

love the extra drums at the end.

excellent.

[sekio1x12]

This is a great song

[duluth1941]

What date is the album out in Ireland?

[Neil9834]

sound like the dire straits and jim carroll band pretty kl tho

[TheLetUp]

It's so nut how I was just playing shows with these guys a year ago and now they're BLOWIN' UP!

[msmb4l]

Check out THIRD CONNECTION. Songs called simple things.Let us know wat u think cheerz"!

[xkylet]

Exccelent, can't wait for the album, hope it's all as good.

[graemefindlay]

cant wait for this at lollapalooza in 9.5 hrs....

[alinelplp]

fuckin great

[ALINGENFELTER]

These guys are great live. i can't wait til they tour the states. They were the best Thursday night act ar Bonnaroo this year IMO.

[mikep65]

does anyone think this sounds like rock&roll by velvet underground?

[raithrover1976]

Yes, it's a definate 70's sound. First time I heard it I thought of "Once in a Lifetime" by Talking Heads. Good song.

[torisse]

i heard this on absolute radio thinking it must've been from the 80's - i'm so glad the good stuff is coming back!

[RasputinaMan]

correction:

does anyone think this sounds like EVERY OTHER BRITISH BAND? i mean... honestly. if the songs i'm hearing are representative of their album, i'm sorry for them. they really need to do something new.

[fanofitsonalexachung]

listen to " too fake" by hockey and "crying lightning" by arctic monkeys

if you think every british band sounds like this, you havent heard a lot of the music by british bands!

[MyMattdamon]

Btw, their not british

[ajhillybillyaj]

there not british, and no, not at all.

[arctictoondude252]

dont get a boner

[RasputinaMan]

and i KNOW i'm going to get a lot of shit for that but nobody can refute me. they're not incredibly original and i don't respect them for that.

[pilotv5grip]

The live version sounds so much better! :)

[793jackg]

didnt think id like this but its really grown on me

[tj3972el]

thinks he's bob dylan

[Butterfly1Blue]

Good song - exciting band.

[stevenfiller]

Can't wait for the album. Great at Glastonbury, seeing them again another couple of times this year

[sonicx2001]

seen them twice now brill band live so much energy !!!

[peanut29]

i saw them at glastonbury, one of the best bands of the weekend!! cant wait for the album

[Sweettasteofbitter]

This is nice...

[Hellishhorse]

Hey! All of Hockey look and sound like other people!....Brilliant band!

[Givemeafukingname]

I dont know who the keyboard player is but the bassist is Phil Lynotts white doppleganger.. same hair style, same hair colour, same palistinian scarf (colour too), same style of playing the bass :)

[GreatExpectations93]

i see what you mean. he just needs tight leather trousers now haha.

[805Carpas]

Who is the keyboard player?

[FredericaBimble]

They are really good!  I agree with the comment about Jools Holland exposing the public to good music. I've seen so many bands that I had to have their albums after hearing them on the show.

[thebeerdr]

I love Jools' show and thought Hockey were very cool.

Anyone else think that when he sings this song he sounds a little bit like Mark Knophler?... could just be me lol

[thebeerdr]

I went and saw Friendly Fires tonight just after I left the last message and Hockey were supporting... I didn't even know they going to be there... how awesome is that!!

[samcurtis214]

Totally agree. Its a cross between Mark Knopfler, the stones and the strokes?

[TheMonsterThatAteYou]

i hear a bit of Dylan in there too :)

[ChainChompGang]

thought so too with his talk-singing.

[Hellishhorse]

What a horrible band!; Bringing out Two blinding songs-AND THEN NOT releasing the album 'til August!.....still; at least I get to see them live then!

[locky16dotcom]

can i get this on 7" vinyl or vinyl album

great track , great band

[ptbox5]

you can get too fake and learn to lose on 7" but the album ain't out till august

[locky16dotcom]

thanks for that , i have too fake , and play it on my vinyl only dj set ,i do on a sunday night in a local bar . i use origional dj decks , i was fortunate to win a brand new set on ebay two years ago. thanks again

[Maddynz]

Cooool

[slimberlake]

Brilliant

[xflashahh]

I think I like. They're definately a summer band, I can just see them on a glastonbury stage. lead singer's got annoying mannerisms but a really great voice.

later.. is awesome. i don't think we'd be able to discover bands like this if it wasn't for it.

[CitricSquid]

I agree with this! Later is a brilliant show, I went on to buy and enjoy Hot Chips album greatly after seeing them perform on later, provided me with over 3000 listens, each being as enjoyable as the last!

[leegee63]

this is come home music ...drums...

[sunmy7to]

love song.

cool guys!

[eamob]

great tune, hope to hear more from them soon!

[danielarn]

this is a true summer tune! hope to catch them around.

[WaveneyWolf]

Really nice song :) and a really good new band, looking forward to this band's first album when it comes out.

[foxyrodriguez]

nice performance - feel good!

[jimbob1969]

good upload chief  !!

[CitricSquid]

I can't work out if I like them or not, the lead singer looks silly :D

[daisydee123]

no i think he looks well cool:)

his outfits wickedddd

[70sglam]

Really enjoyed this on Later ~ particularly like the tribal drumming at the end.

[daisydee123]

:)

i love hockey

good to see them on later

[mkeii]

amazing.

[umbrey]

I like it.

[tinklebiddie]

see what your man has, done to the world;

see what the world has, done to your man.

[BIGMC1300]

Excellent band !

So cool !
