Hey Rosetta! A six-piece Canadian indie rock band from St. John's, Newfoundland already known for their energized live shows and unique stage presence.

The band creates a massive, layered big-band sound that incorporates the sometimes more emotional and evocative elements of music combined with stirring band chants. This all interplays against the traditional elements of piano, violin, cello, folk and pop-rock in an un-conventional and audibly workable musical base.
Having garnered critical acclaim and a dedicated fan base following the release of Plan Your Escape, Hey Rosetta! joined forces with well-known Canadian singer/songwriter Hawksley Workman who produced this musical potpourri gem, Into Your Lungs.

This release is sure to catapult Hey Rosetta! into international superstardom adding another notch to the Canada’s musical bedpost and another gold star for Mr. Workman.

Not since the Arcade Fire has music been so liberally and emotionally explored as it has on this album. Lead singer Tim Baker connects very hard vocally with the audience and when he sings, ‘I’ve been asleep for a long, long time,’ on the self-named track, you believe it. There is nothing that would convince you otherwise as you are taken on a musical exploration of a rather sensual, yet dark side of Hey Rosetta! across a vivid and musically abstract landscape.

From ‘New Goodbye’, to I’ve Been Asleep For A Long, Long Time’, to ‘There’s An Arc’ and ‘Handshake The Gangster’ and throughout the entire album, the music interplays between folk, rock and pop seamlessly. There are delicious moments provided courtesy of Kinley Dowling on violins, loud saxophones, a funked-out cello, harmonious yet hard guitar riffs combined with a thumping drum-rock crescendo that hits hard and fast on quite literally almost every, single track on the album.

Into Your Lungs shows that Canada still has a lot more to offer the world and that our musical journey is just beginning and far from over. With young, upcoming new Indie talent like Hey Rosetta! coming to the forefront of new Canadian music, we are shown once again that there really are no limits to what you can achieve and the great musical heights that can be reached.

Hey Rosetta!, by the time you read this, will be probably playing in a LARGE concert venue near you soon.
