When you come across a tune that you can't escape you've got to just sit down and applaud the efforts of the artists; that's exactly what I did when I listened to this first track from the latest EP, titled Fumes , from Portland's Grandparents . There's sort of a far-out approach to the craftsmanship of the group's pop efforts, something that makes their songs always seem to rise and fall with the changes of the wind. Hopefully you get the same sentimental drifting emotion that came to mind when [...]
On day one of SXSW, Heartless Bastards gave us one of our best memories. If you've ever been to SXSW, you know to expect your fair share of problems - venues with awful acoustics, sound problems, and laptop failures for the hipster bands. You expect issues in parking lots set up as makeshift stages, but not at famous Austin venues like Antone's. But just as Heartless Bastards took the stage at Antone's and played the first chords of "Parted Ways," the power in the entire venue shut down and Erika Wennerstrom's powerful voice became distant, trailing off without the benefit [...]
Switzerland's Archers and Arrows are not what'd you'd expect from this notoriously peaceful and passive country. Melding elements of punk rock, hardcore and indie, this new group blares out edgy, triumphant riffs and shouts in the vein of bands such as Hot Water Music, The Lawrence arms or Latterman. Their debut self-titled EP was met with many positive reviews which quickly garnered the band airtime on Swiss national radio station, Couleur 3. Read more »
[photo courtesy of Amanda Hatfield ] We are all big fans of Heartless Bastards over here at nyctaper, as well we're quite fond of Partisan Records . When the two got together earlier this year and released HB's strongest record to date, Arrow , acidjack and John got to celebrate with the band at their sold out Webster Hall show in February . That triumphant 90+ minute show was a watershed moment of sorts, but it was not too long before we were able to catch them again. This time it was [...]
With a brand new record under their belts, Heartless Bastards rocked San Francisco on Thursday night.
I came across this site when I was looking up information about Atlanta roots selector, Aba Shaka, who will be the special guest DJ at the next Reggae Vault Classics event (3-15-12 @ The SoundTable).

Anyone interested in hearing (downloading) material from Metro Media, Killimanjaro, King Attorney, Emperor Faith , King Sturgav Hi Fi, Jah Love, King Jammy 's, Arrows, Black Scorpio and many other international sound systems - you need [...]

Rating: ★★★★★ Heartless Bastards is a band who is grounded in blues rock. They're defined by the earth-shattering vocals of their lead singer, Erika Wennerstrom. Up until their most recent album, the instruments just sounded like back ground music as her voice dominated their sound. Their last album, The Mountain , was a journey into banjos and folk showed an evolution from the blues rock of their first two albums. Their newest album, Arrow , is still another change in their sound. Instead of the first two [...]
A Best of 2012 Selection This One You Need to Own "The Single Best New Album I've Heard in Six Months." There is something fundamentally right with singer Erika Wennestrom's delivery. Sometimes the words bounce from her mouth playfully, but make no mistake - this is no pop band. "Fiery" s another, perhaps as apt, adjective to describe her songwriting and her style. Much of what we hear on the [...]
Si nos dejáramos llevar por las primeras impresiones continuamente saldríamos ganando por algún lado, pero perdiendo por otros. Un claro ejemplo es la música. Hay grupos o discos concretos que necesitan más de una degustación para acabar cogiéndoles el gusto. El paso del tiempo y la experiencia nos dicen que tendemos a ser cada vez más selectivos con lo que escuchamos, de tal manera que, por lo general, acabamos arriesgando poco a la hora de confeccionar nuestras playlists. Y todo porque una vez le dimos una tregua a una banda y al final resultó defraudarnos bastante o porque [...]
It's serendipitous that a band named Heartless Bastards, would be releasing an album on Valentines day of all days, but these bastards are liars, because they're all heart.
![Heartless Bastards – Arrow [Album Review]](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/4040772_lg.jpg)
2012 is shaping up to be all about the women of indie music. We covered incredible albums from First Aid Kit and Sharon van Etten already and Heartless Bastards are equally deserving of praise. Erika Wennerstrom is the heart and soul of Heartless Bastards and she's at her best on Arrow . Arrow is the fourth album released from Heartless Bastards since 2005 and the first on Partisan Records. The album opens with "Marathon," a down-temp song for those that have gotten off track and found themselves lost in life. [...]
On February 14th, Heartless Bastards will release their new album Arrow that is receiving a lot of hype as a "Must Hear Winter Album". The band is heading out on tour in support of the new album. Check out the tour dates below, kicking off with Little Rock, AR on February 7th. Read more »
Koreless had me completely infatuated with his debut release of 4D/MTI , leaving me vigilant for the next sighting of the young producer's name. Than came "Lost In Tokyo" off Jamie XX's 2011 Essential Mix , a hauntingly mystical floater that so perfectly captured the emotion of being alone in a city that never sleeps. Come 2012, it's clear that these tracks are only the beginnings of what we can expect from Koreless. "Arrow" is a collaborative track between Koreless and Jacques Greene off Greene's most recent release Concealer . The tracks drifting [...]
Jacques Greene is our dude and his new track for "Arrow", which features another fav b3sci artist Koreless, is really good, beautiful, sublime, engrossing, all that stuff. Jacques is poised for a big 2012 and a track like "Arrow" is a great first step. Jacques Greene - Arrow (Feat. Koreless) Jacques Greene ( Facebook ) Rating 8.2
The Heartless Bastards had a great New Years announcement for us all yesterday. Letting the masses know they will be coming to their city with a newfound energy and a new case full of songs. The band are releasing their latest album, Arrow on February 14th. And now we can confirm that they will be hitting their hometown of Cincinnati for a show at the 20th Century Theatre as well on February 17th . If you are like me, you've already spent some time with the first song from the album, "Parted Ways" [...]
Lonely Forest should rename themselves crowded, over-stuffed forest with the crowds they are drawing these days. We chatted. They're dope.
Cincinnati's Heartless Bastards are getting ready for their fourth full-length with a new track and a North American tour.
