Heartsounds- "Drifter" to be released on July 26th!
Heartsounds is a melodic punk band formed out of the demise of Bay Area thrash band Light This City. Their clever fusion of punk energy, thrash speeds, and melody helps set them apart from their contemporaries and is building quite a diverse audience. Perhaps the best representation of the band's sound thus far, 2009's "Our Last Hope" was an energetic and forceful effort that sounded like Hot Water Music wrestling Testament in a cage match! Always a fan of dual vocals, the male / female delivery of Laura Nichols and Ben Murray are among the best in the business and remind me of the glory days of 90s west coast punk. Check out the band's catalog and, if you like what you hear, be sure to check out "Drifter" next month.
