Hello Beautiful really knows how to ignite an audience, as noted by Toronto's Exclaim Magazine; ''"Their set caused a dance floor eruption and a constant interchange between the crowd and band made for an endearing set. HB got enough love from the crowd to play an encore and left the stage while the {{sic|crowed}} raged."'' (Recently Reviewed, Exclaim Magazine, Nov/08). During the aftermath of a show at Toronto's legendary live venue, The [[Horseshoe Tavern]], the establishment’s co-owner, Jeff Cohen said ''"The last time I saw someone play like that on this stage, it was Billy Talent, and that was like four years ago!"''.

==''Soundtrack for Scenario''==
While some bands have blended genres before, none have created this particular blend of Punk, Hip Hop and Pop Rock, in essence creating their style of popular music. This unique dynamic is easily noticed on their full-length debut, ''Soundtrack For Scenario'', which has received high praise: ''"Sheer noise can result from fusing Hip Hop, Rock and Punk instead of a euphonic harmony"'' however, ''"Hello Beautiful have managed to successfully mix the three types of music into one"'' (ChartAttack.com Aug/08). After having two singles, ''Virginia Symphony'' and ''Saint Andrew's Bridge'', in [[MuchMusic]]’s Top 5, performances on [[MTV]] and [[Breakfast Television]], and ample national touring experience (supporting such acts as; [[Hedley (band)|Hedley]], [[Snoop Dogg]], [[illScarlett]], [[Akon]], [[Alexisonfire]], [[Down With Webster]], etc. along the way), the quintet with the relentless work ethic headed into the legendary Vespa Studio to record their second album. Produced by International music industry veterans; [[Harry Hess]] and Eric Ratz ([[Billy Talent]], [[Cancer Bats]], [[Muse (band)|Muse]]), Hello Beautiful created a hard-hitting 10-track album - still based on their impressive fusion, but full of new twists.
