Rating: 72.00
Genre: Indie Rock
With elements of blues, hard rock, garage, punk and country, the Heartless Bastards, currently a quartet (they've been through several line-ups, but always ) lead by guitarist/singer Erika Wennerstrom. Originally from Dayton, Ohio, they were "discovered" by Pat Carney of the Black Keys, and are currently headquartered out of Austin Texas. Which is where they met Jim Eno, percussionist for another of my favorite bands, Spoon, who produced the album. (Music is a small world...)A couple highlights/good examples are Parted Ways (with an Eagles influence - official video); The Arrow Killed the Beast (which feels a lot like an Ennio Morricone soundtrack for a "Spaghetti Westerns"); and Down In The Canyon (which opens with a riff that sounds a lot like early '70s Black Sabbath).
