Album: Silly Things
Release Date: May 19, 2016
Genre: Pop/Rock
Burlington’s Hello Harvard released their debut EP entitled Silly Things on May 19, 2016. The release features six tracks including the single “Falling Fast.”
When listening to the album for the first time, it immediately drew me in as it was similar yet different from past releases I have heard. If seeking a comparison, the Silly Things EP is reminiscent of the song “That Thing You Do” by fictional band The Wonders in the film “That Thing You Do”. Yet, if you mixed Simple Plan with RocketRocketShip, Jonas Brothers and Pharrell’s Happy, you would have the six-track Silly Things. It
is a catchy album that is enjoyable to listen to in its entirety. There are no tracks that stood out the most, however, I kept going back to “Careless” and “You’re Mine” due to their more prominent rock sound.
Hello Harvard is an up-and-coming band that you should watch out for. If they continue to package material similar to that on Silly Things in further releases, they will go far.
Be sure to check out their single “Falling Fast” at the link below for a sample of Silly Things. It has definitely put the band on my radar. See video HERE!

Hi Everyone! My name is Remington Fioraso. I am a graduate of the University of the Fraser Valley’s Bachelor of Arts program in Sociology, Anthropology, and Media and Communication Studies. Within my program, I focused on social media, learning about contemporary and classical sociological theory (Including Marx, Foucault, Bourdieu, and Durkheim), and communicating effectively in various modes and for different audiences (including oral communication, business communication, academic writing, entertainment media, and presentations utilizing visual media). Within my program, the question arose for many courses, “What is the relevance in the real world?” Stepping (temporarily) away from being in university, I gained an interest in Latin American development, social movements, and business. Sooner than later, I will be applying for post-grad programs to dive further into LA development and social movements to gain a theory-background in addition to a personal perspective onto the topics. In my free time, I love to travel, consume media, eat, listen to music, and write. Listening to music and writing led to my interest in working with Canadian Beats! I have been a part of the team since April 2014. A few of my personal highlights of interviews include ones with some of my favourite artists – Sumo Cyco, Madeline Merlo, and High Valley.
