Welcome to a site that we have dedicated purely to the release of our first album: "Find The Shoreline." The site includes download and streaming access, liner notes, lyrics, credits, cover art story, reviews and more. Before we dive into the record itself, here is a brief bio of the band to get you up to speed:

​​

H E L L O   F I A S C O 

In the years leading up to 2021, former members of The Mailman's Children  joined forces with other Canadian artists to record 23 original songs. At the top of 2021, the newly formed Pop Rock band emerged publicly as Hello Fiasco. 

​

Although Hello Fiasco™ is principally Canadian, the band is actually considered Canadian-American or “North American” because their frontman Eric LaBossiere (born Canadian) lives in Helena, Montana, USA. The rest of the band, including Joel Couture (bass), Joel Perreault (lead guitars/backing vocals), and Guy Abraham  (keys/backing vocals/Ableton), all live in the Winnipeg, Manitoba, CANADA region.

​

The band’s debut album “Find The Shoreline” has earned 7,000,000 streams including 2,500,000 unique listeners on Spotify and being placed on over 20,000 Spotify playlists. The lead-off singles “Hold Me Close” and “Gorgeous Girl” alone have combined for over 3 million streams with their videos reaching half a million views on YouTube. On radio, the album is currently sitting at 40,000 trackable radio plays in over 40 countries worldwide, with several top 30s and number ones at US College stations.

​

The collection of songs was co-produced by frontman Eric LaBossiere and award-winning Canadian producer John Paul Peters (Propagandhi, Arkells, Comeback Kid, Faouzia, Royal Canoe, Cancer Bats, The Bros. Landreth and Begonia). *Peters recently won both Audio Engineering and Producer of the Year awards at the Western Canadian Music Awards. Notably, the album was mastered by American Grammy-winning engineer Randy Merrill of Sterling Sound (Imagine Dragons, Cage The Elephant, Muse, Maroon 5, Paul McCartney, Ariana Grande, Harry Styles, Justin Bieber, Katy Perry, Adele and Lady Gaga).

ABOUT THE SOUND  

With lyrics that are sometimes cheeky and sarcastic, the band’s songs are most often meaningful and deep. Backed by the power and vulnerability of LaBossiere’s stylish voice, which is reminiscent of British Pop Rock like Bowie but also holding the American vibe of Brenden Urie (Panic! at the Disco) and Brandon Flowers (The Killers), the band’s driving rhythm section is wrapped up in a tapestry of majestic electric guitar tones, catchy piano melodies, synth landscapes and a barrage of powerful harmonies that all come together to make this North American but Canadian-heavy band a force to reckon with. They might be Pop Rock, but Hello Fiasco is definitely more than the standard fare of rock instrumentation and same old song writing we have all gotten used to.
