Hellogoodbye

Hellogoodbye are a group of quirky, fun-loving emo rockers from California who seem to take as much influence from modern pop-punk as they do from the original Nintendo sound bleeps that held children captive in the late '80s. Formed by high-school friends in 2002, their playful brand of indie power pop is infused with sugary sweetness, catchy dance beats, and enough energy to tire a group of five-year-olds.

Hellogoodbye, named after a quote from Saved by the Bell's Screech Powers, is composed of vocalist/guitarist Forrest Kline, bassist Marcus Cole, keyboardist Jesse Kurvink, and drummer Chris Profeta. They released a self-titled EP in April 2004 on Drive Thru, and a music video/live DVD appeared in the fall of 2005.
