[ SOLD OUT! ]

Taking home three 2009 East Coast Music Awards, Into Your Lungs also received the XM Verge Music Award and CMW Indie Award for Best Album and was shortlisted for the prestigious Polaris Music Prize.

Earlier this year Hey Rosetta! also released a 7-inch, Red Songs, and have kept busy touring across the country and Europe, performing at the 2010 Vancouver Olympics, SXSW in Austin, 2010 JUNO Awards in St. John’s. The band recently commenced work on the follow up to Into Your Lungs and will preview the songs at the show.

Of their acclaimed live show, NOW Magazine said, "... passionate rock songs - fuelled by emotion and poetry - grew and swelled, retreated and quieted down, and expanded again in just the right doses to make the sold-out crowd completely ecstatic."

CBC Radio 3 said, "The last notes of each of their epic songs was met with thunderous appreciation. It was a career-making performance from a very special Canadian band."

Formerly known as Smothered in Hugs, English Words are out in support of their latest EP Customer Appreciation, released in January.

The Ottawa Xpress said, “...bright, cleverly articulated and occasionally manic rock of the angular pop variety.”
