Hooked is a new but old western Massachusetts based rock group that has had quite a history behind them. The group's members have come back together after 15 years of not seeing each other since they toured and performed countless shows as Naughty in the early 90's.With the 4 original members back in the same room, it did not take long for the chemistry they had back then to fall right into place. Reunited in the summer of 2006, Hooked began writing tracks immediately and found themselves in the studio creating their debut release Play What You Feel. The debut was released on June 21, 2007 and has been making a significant amount of noise on the local scene. The CD is very diverse and covers many different sounds and writing styles. It is sure to have something for everyone.

A&R Select says......July 30,2007

Hooked is what it says it is. It’s a band whose music is so addictive that you’ll have to change your list of favorite artists to reflect a new name in slot number one once your ears have gotten a taste. Pure, uninhibited rock-and-roll energy rolls out of the songwriting process of Hooked, a process in which creative nuclear fission is accomplished. It’s a burst of bright rock goodness.

Untouchable

Music is empowering. Period. Forget leaning off the end of the Titanic. You want to be the king of the world? Get caught up in music. Create great rock-n-roll tunes  or listen to them. In fact, why don’t you sit back and let Hooked crank out some delicious rock potency while you absorb the power-infusing blast that is Hooked. “Music makes us all feel on top of the world  untouchable!”

Good Times

If you don’t feel good, you’re listening to the wrong music. For Hooked, that’s the core of it all. Enjoying life! “We are out to have a good time.” And the ultimate good time is in the midst of the grooves of rock-and-roll greatness. “Nothing is more satisfying than being on stage and seeing people singing your songs back at you.” But while soaking up the rays of adoration flowing off the wall of fans, Hooked never forgets those fans and their importance to the band’s success. “Stay humble; do not expect anything. And keep it fun!”

The Artist at Work

The members of Hooked have each had the opportunity to work with a number of national hit acts too many to enumerate, as a matter of fact. Suffice it to say that the folks in Hooked have earned solid reputations as standout musicians and artists. The band has a nearly 20-year history under its belt and recently reunited to reignite the glory (that has never really faded). Booking is under way for a new slew of performances and the band has announced a new full-length. Hooked is currently working with A&R Select, the leading indie A&R firm in Hollywood, CA.

“Hooked has the hooks, of that there’s no doubt. Energetic and full of tight riffs and equally accomplished vocals and rhythms, this is rock-and-roll at its finest.”
