- 11 tracks (43:00)The band's sophomore album. Pick Of The Day: Hello Industry - MaryAnn "Super chill indie with groovy undertones. Praise music that's not your everyday, squeaky clean, so happy its obnoxious CCM, but real and honest songs that are both relatable and good to listen too." John McEntire - HM Magazine "Hello Industry is a smart pop alternative band. I hear elements of the Beatles, Coldplay, U2, Muse, and a pop rock sensibility. A nice mix of keyboard and guitar make for an enjoyable listen. I use the words nice and enjoyable because Nathan Peterson's vocals are just that. At a couple of points, he reminds me very much of Neal Morse ("Make Believe"). I sense a "worship" band under the surface, but I could be mistaken. Strong tracks are "Supposition", my favorite "You", and the ballad/slow rocker "Here Comes The Sun". Overall, this disc deserves radio airplay and repeated listens." 8 of 10 clicks PneumaticTire.us

- 11 tracks (44:27)The band's debut album (while they were still called "Nathan Peterson Band") "Though formed in 1999, this is the debut album from this Illinois-based band. Nathan and co play melodic, ear-pleasing pop rock interlaced with a few slower ballads. The band gel together well, influenced as they are by the likes of U2 and Coldplay. Peterson has a strong, pleasant voice, leading on all tracks, each of which he authored. Lyrics are thoughtful, non-clichéd and overtly spiritual. You could easily form the impression that they're too negative - one song is titled "Judas", another (the powerful title track) relates a conversation with the Devil and yet another a convo with the flesh. But this is simply a reflection of NPB's openness; their desire to tackle real-life issues. Thus, track nine opens; "I love you with half of my heart, with half of my soul/I serve you with some of my strength, and part of my all". How many of us, in all honesty, can relate to that! A couple of tracks, namely "Our King Has Come" and more especially "Our God Is Amazing", are pure worship - and how. Another track is a reflection on the sacrifice of Christ, spoken in the first person singular - "It's For You"." Tom Lennie - Cross Rhythms Radio, UK

- Video shoot
This Saturday we’re doing a video shoot. We’ll be using 6 of these and recording out of the M7 thru Dante into a laptop. Looking at recording Manipulator and The Innocent Will Die (anything is possible) for sure. Maybe When I Was Young, Brave, or Blessed as well.
Keep yer eyes peeled for some new YouTubes.
Next B-SIDES (electronic Hello Industry) is happening Feb 18th at Thirty-Thirty in Peoria!
Will be an amazing show. We think so at least. :)
More details to come…
[EDIT] Here’s the link! http://on.fb.me/3030show
Here’s a little something Nathan wrote for Christmas a couple years ago. Enjoy!
- Exciting Announcement!!!
Message from Nathan

I have an exciting announcement to make…
As of next week, I’ll be transitioning to part-time at Richwoods to more fully pursue the mission of Hello Industry.
This decision is a result of a couple of years of struggling, talking with advisors, talking with my wife Heather, and praying for wisdom. A few weeks ago it all came to a head and I believe God asked me if I really believed in the mission of Hello Industry and if I was willing to take a *real* risk to move it forward. Like, all or nothing.
Hello Industry’s mission is to put meaningful music in the hands of struggling students. We play for more than just students. But at the core, that’s where we feel most helpful in the world. The ultimate picture of success for us is a 16 yr old student, sitting in her car, struggling through depression and suicidal feelings with our music playing the background - like it’s keeping her company through the difficult but important time. I remember being that person, and music was a lifeline for me. I honestly believe I would have ended my life if music didn’t have the impact it had on me. We want to offer the same thing.
So, I’m in - all the way. So is the rest of Hello Industry.
By the end of this month we will have moved into a work space downtown peoria, assembled an incredible board of directors, begun the process of fully incorporating the band, begun a much more aggressive approach to booking shows, and begun a process to approach music distribution differently than any band we’ve seen in the past (hint: people who can’t afford to buy music will still own Hello Industry music - *all* of it).
Here we go!

* Yes, the album is still underway. One song (not telling which one!) is finished - the other 11 are on pause until we can afford it.
** Richwoods will be in better hands, all around, than it’s ever been. The situation there is going to be healthy and will continue to move forward, very quickly. My role will shift toward the things I do best, while handing off the things someone else can do better.
*** Yes, I’m very scared. Scared and excited would be the two best descriptions of my overall mental state over this past month. This isn’t a small or incremental step, but it does feel like the right one. I honestly feel like God is with me. Thanks for asking. :)
**** Most of the credit for this move goes to my wife. She supports me more than any wife of any guy I know.
- Become A Better Screwup
“The longer you do something the less mistakes you’ll make.”
I think that’s an amateur concept.
It may be slightly true, but that’s not what makes you a professional. In fact, the more glitches in your performance, the more times you can prove to me that you are (or aren’t) a professional.
The true measure of your professionalism is in how you handle (inevitable) glitches.
No one came to see you perform flawlessly. If they want perfect they’ll pop in a CD or draw a circle with a protractor. They came to experience a real and meaningful expression, and if you’re on stage they came in part to experience you. Not your ideal image of yourself, but the real you - glitches and all.
Your ability to handle glitches well - to move past them without allowing insecurity with your identity as a performer or an artist to take over, or to even allow them and embrace them as “character” in your art or as comic relief or as a way to create a common ground between you and your audience… that’s what makes the difference between a professional and an amateur.

- Perfection vs Meaning
No one is looking for perfect art. Just that phrase, “perfect art”, sounds stupid. It’s cold and boring. Sterile.
Aren’t we much more concerned with meaning than perfection? If your art has meaning and perfection, great. But no matter how perfect your execution is, if you play me a song that doesn’t say something (musically or lyrically or some other way), I’ll never listen to it again. And worse, it won’t help me.
Meaning is art. Perfection is just something to distract attention from the fact that we don’t actually have anything to say.

- Nathan's Kickstarter Response
Tonight our album fundraiser (kickstarter) expired before we met our goal. I want to be clear: *I’m not even a little disappointed.* To be honest, the only worry in my mind right now is that people will think that we’re disappointed or discouraged. Don’t worry - we’re a-ok. :) Here’s why:
Failure only happens when you try things. Success only happens when you try things. Nothing happens when you don’t try things. See the math? We *have* to try things. We tried something and it didn’t work. Now we’re one step closer to finishing this album and putting it in the hands of a lot of people who need it.
Onto the next idea.
We’re still planning to release Matter by the end of the year, and we’re extremely excited to see what you think of it. It’s some of our favorite music in the world (and we’re picky music snobs). In the mean time, here are two preview items for you:
1. Art idea. What do you think of this? Is it too boring?
2. Here’s another preview track. FULL SONG. Not a “real” mix, so don’t sue us if it explodes your car speakers (it won’t, really. it shouldn’t.).
-Nathan Peterson, Hello Industry
Screw it. I’m tired of waiting to release our album. Here’s a rough mix of my favorite song on the album.
- Free Hello Industry album "MaryAnn"
Hey friends. My band has decided we want to let everyone we know have our album MaryAnn for free. It was released in Jan 2008. Here you go. You can also pass this along to anyone you think would be interested. http://bit.ly/hi-maryann Enjoy! -Heather
