Goodnight...

Well, this is a somewhat somber message to post on such a beautiful spring afternoon, but I felt this was the right time to let you all in on the news. Sadly, it seems that The Champion Heartache will be saying goodbye. In the past three years or so, we’ve grown as a unit, and became best friends because of the shared message and passion for making music. It seems however, that over the past little while, other factors have overshadowed our original plan, and it’s time to move on. Some of us have solo records on the way, while others are simply maintaining a family, a career, and other musical endeavors. We’re all so thankful for the support and love from our families and friends, and we feel so fortunate to have graced the stages of some of our very favorite venues, with some of our favorite bands. We’ve met some really amazing people in the crowd too, and will never forget all of the amazing experiences we’ve shared with you all. You can still expect to hear a brand new album within the next few months, and we have a few shows left before packing it in. Once the album is done, we’ll celebrate together and announce a record release party, which will in turn be our final show. Dates are below.

Love, The Champion Heartache

Saturday May 29: This Ain’t Hollywood, Pitter Patter Festival, Hamilton

The Champion Heartache Mixing New LP, Giving Away Debut Album



It’s been over a year since Oshawa’s The Champion Heartache self released their debut disc. The band is now in the mixing stage of their sophomore album, titled Indoor Voices, and to celebrate, they’re giving away their first album for free. “This is simply an effort to get more people to hear the first one. The new disc is about a month or so away, and we’d really like to get some friends excited for the new one. We just hope people haven’t forgotten about us.” Matt Holtby is the lead singer of the band, but claims the new album is strictly a collaborative effort. “This time, we just did a lot of jamming, and feel the next release is a true pop rock record. Lots of fun four minute rockers.”

The band will have a new song from Indoor Voices available within weeks, but in the meantime, download their self titled debut for free below.

Expect to see a string of spring tour dates to coincide with their release.
