Bandwidth Daily: The music biz is a rollercoaster, what are some of your proudest moments? Katie Hate: MAX - Probably answering a question about me being a part of the so called "music biz." And successfully recording a full length album. BOBBY - That award we got was pretty cool (Akademia Music Award for best Rock/ Punk Album, December 2015), but just getting our album done was really cool too. JAKE - Proudest moment was hearing the final product of our debut album over the stereo it was so surreal hearing music that we made.

It's a sound I have missed a lot in popular music, and I am over joyed to hear people still making it. The things the talk in the album are highly relatable, funny but impactful.

This album is so really relatable for anyone who is just starting out in music, or anything really. It's ambitious but humble in nature, the situation of being an artist who doesn't want to be famous, they just want to pay their bills is extremely relatable to myself.

Album Review: Katie Hate: "Let's Pretend Again"

by Chris Belin

Review posted on December 23, 2015

From the deep, lyrical content of Max Theofilis’ mind mixed with his intense guitar playing, to the tasteful, creative, & energetic drum parts from Jake Saltzman, and finally with bassist Bobby Fello; rounding out the low end and picking perfect points where he shines through, the band is tight and their songs are good. Fans of Dookie era post punk to hard rock will definitely appreciate this record, but the band is much more than that. Katie Hate mixes dynamics and elements from various genres to create a very unique blend that would appeal to any open-minded music fan.

by Kelsey Shea

Review posted on January 8, 2016

“We're trying to get into more festivals,” said Bobby Fello, bassist for KatieHate, noting that the band usually plays smaller local venues.

He described his band, which also includes Max Theofilis and Jake Saltzman, and its music as a melting pot of different alternative genres with a 1990s influence.

The band released an album called “Let's Pretend Again” at the end of October. Fello said KatieHate will tour locally and around the East Coast throughout 2016.

Best Album: Rock/Punk

by Akademia Music Awards

Review posted in December 2015

'Relentless, with frenzied guitar and percussion statements, 'Let's Pretend Again' includes moments of pure musical chaos balanced with highly sentimental lyricism, making it a completely unique album well worth the listen.'

Penn Hills Band re-forms, prepares to record first album by Patrick Varine

Trib Live News

We figured that meant the band was always destined to be,” said Theofilis. “We came back with a much more inspired attitude than before. So we were eager to get back into the basement as a group again.”

Fello, 19, said he is excited to have the group back together.

“We were more determined than anything,” he said. “Being in a band is fun, but if you want to make it in music, there is a lot of hard work that needs to be put in. We practice five or six days a week, sometimes for two hours at a time. We plan on investing a lot of our hours into the band, but in the end, it'll all be worth it because we are all passionate about music and we get to share the same experience together.”

Katie Hate Represents Young Faces in the Rock Scene by Andy Mulkerin

Pittsburgh City Paper, Local Beat, posted on December 24, 2014

"We have albums planned ahead," Theofilis says. "At least five, with songs we're familiar with already. As soon as this album is finished, we'll have something to move on to."

Even as they break out of their teens, the three have designs on concept albums and big-idea stuff. Even if they're a little cagey about it at times. "There's a master plan to Katie Hate," Theofilis notes. "There's a theme that we want people to catch onto eventually. I like to write conceptually — not necessarily storylines, but just themes."
