Men Without Hats ready new November EP; on tour in North America

On Nov. 14, Men Without Hats will unveil 'Men Without Hats On The Moon,' the forthcoming EP from the ‘80s Canadian new wave/synth-pop band. It was produced by Grammy/Juno Award winner Brian Howes (Simple Plan, Hinder). 

The new song “‘In Glorious Days’ was my first experience with truly collaborative writing,” frontman Ivan Doroschuk recalls. "I found working with Brian [Howes] effortless; the direction and flow of the song came so naturally, and the result is what I believe to be an amazing hybrid of the classic Men Without Hats sound with a new, modern synth-wave sonic sensibility. I can’t wait to play ‘In Glorious Days’ live for our fans. I have a feeling it’s going to be a new crowd favorite!”

Stream “In Glorious Days” and “I Love the ‘80s” on YouTube HERE. Pre-save, pre-add and pre-order Men Without Hats On The Moon HERE.

Additionally, Men Without Hats will be making numerous headline and festival appearances through 2025 and into 2026. Performing on the upcoming Abducted By The ‘80s Tour that will feature Wang Chung and Naked Eyes, the band will also be headlining shows across parts of Canada, Mexico and the U.S. east coast through December. Tickets for all shows are on sale now via the band’s site HERE, and a full listing of dates can be found below.

The well-known "Pop Goes The World" and "The Safety Dance" are more than hits — they're international memes, football chants, and soundtrack staples. The band has 31 million views on YouTube, and nearly 10 million monthly Spotify listeners.

Singer Ivan Doroschuk was joined by his brother Colin Doroschuk for the better part of the ‘80s, along with other musicians, with Ivan being the main songwriter and constant throughout the years. After a string of album releases and a 2020 induction into the Canadian Songwriters Hall of Fame, presently the Men Without Hats family ties have come full circle since Colin was replaced by his daughter, Sahara Sloan, on keyboards and vocals. 

Writing and recording Men Without Hats On the Moon was different for the band in that it was divided into two unique sessions. The first was a two-week stay in the Comox Valley on Vancouver Island at producer Brian Howes’ studio where he and Doroschuk collaborated on the tracks “I Love the ‘80s” and “In Glorious Days.” 

The second session was recorded in Doroschuk’s studio on the ocean in Victoria B.C. with longtime producer, engineer, guitar player and friend Sho Murray. There, they were able to capture “If You Try”, "Run Away “, “Love Me Tomorrow” and “A Cause De Toi”.

“I believe we more-than-accomplished our goal and, sonically, managed to keep a cohesive sound and feel throughout,” Doroschuk summarizes. “Creating this project from top-to-bottom was a real on the moon experience. I truly hope our fans enjoy it!”
