On Hedley’s self-titled Universal Music debut, one can easily tell frontman Jacob Hoggard is a rocker — but not off his rocker.Stories about his antics include urine, birthday cakes, thongs, tampons, and breaking stuff, but you’ll have to get the circumstances out of him or he’ll create new ones for you. That's just the kind of guy he is — unpredictable, wacky, obnoxious, over-the-top, and charming. His nuttiness is not mean or malicious, rather at his own expense.

His Vancouver-based bandmates — bassist Tommy Mac (ex Flybanger, Everything After), guitarist Dave Rosin (ex Day Theory, Everything After), and drummer Chris Crippin (ex Bif Naked, Everything After) — have no idea what's in store when Hedley hits the road in support of the 11-song album, which is a good thing in this often dull 21st-century rock world.

Beyond Jacob's jackass nature, his voice sets him apart, a nasally, earnest, melodic rock style that can be heard on both singles, the fervent “On My Own” which is at CHR/Hot AC radio and the pumping “Villain” for rock radio. On “Street Fight,” his 15-minutes of fame denouncement, Jacob comes out swinging with a kind of punk passion, while in the full-out-throttle of the ball-and-chain meltdown “321,” he tells the girl how it is with both anger and regret. On the gun-toting tale "Johnny Falls," he lowers his voice to an almost maniacal level, while on the soaring spiritual ballad, "Trip," he displays an uncharacteristic sensitivity and beauty.

Indeed, Jacob’s voice and presence are one of a kind.

"Hands down, he's the best frontman I've ever worked with," says Hedley's Tommy. "He's the kind of guy that walks in a room and everybody's eyes are on him. With Jake, it's basically what you see is what you get and usually you see way too much (laughs)."

What some people might not expect from Jacob, who made 2004's season of Canadian Idol a cooler affair with his punk approach to cover songs and said goodbye after climbing to the top 3, is that the lip-ringed ham is hardworking and knows when to buckle down, as he did in the studio for the self-titled album

Hedley is awesome, i found out about them from a girl at my school, we talk liek all the time and told me about the song, For The Nights I Cant Remember, and i loved the song, and then i downloaded Hedley and I listen to them all the time. They are an amazing band and have great singing. They care much for their music, and truly show it on stage. Hedley is so awesome and I can't wait til they make their next album, whenever that is.

Jacob Hoggard | Reviewer: Paige | 8/20/06

Jacob William Hoggard was born on July 10th. He has recently turned the big 22. He has 2 tattoos. One on his ass(one check says HED, the other check says LEY) The other is a sleeve of roses. He was born in Vancouver, BC. He has one sibling, a younger sister(2 year diffrance)named Amanda. He has his right side of his lip pierced. Jake has piercing green eyes. Jacob is currently in a relationship. He is married to his high school sweetheart, Tammy.

He was in a band 'hedley' with his friends from home, while living in his parents basement, driving a wrecked white van. There was 5 members. Then Jacob joined Canadian Idol on a drunken bet. He ended up coming in 3rd place, where he walked out. Then he met Tommy Mac(bass), Chris Crippin(drums), and Dave Rosin(guitar), where he started a band with the same name 'hedley'. They recorded a self titled album. They currently have 4 music videos. 'On my own', 'Trip', '321', and 'Gunnin' They have been touring all over Canada, and America.

Jake is an intersting guy. He does the funniest things on and off stage. From the clothes he wears, the things he says, the things he does, he will always make you laugh. He loves drinking, but when it comes down to his music, hes on it. He enjoys nutella, i've relized, aswell with soup and many other intersting things. he has the most cuttest laugh, that you wouldn't even know belongs to his voice. He has an incrediable voice that should be heard. Hes crazy and amazing.
