These Hearts Are Reuniting

Miracles can happen.

Christian easycore band These Hearts are reuniting.

The Fargo, N.D., based act announced on Monday that they were performing a few shows this summer. These gigs will mark their first shows since breaking up in 2013. Their first comeback show (with special guests scheduled to be announced on a later date) will be held at the Four Winds Music & Art Fest in Sioux City, Iowa, on Saturday, July 30. An official reunion show in Minneapolis, Minn., will take place in Saturday, August 13, at the Cabooze. Finally, the band will be performing a day later on August Burns Red’s Through The Thorns tour with We Came As Romans, Hollow Front, and Void Of Vision in Fargo.

These Hearts formed in 2007, dropping their debut EP Mistakes And Second Takes a year later. After touring with notable acts like The Devil Wears Prada, Mayday Parade, The Bouncing Souls, Silverstein, and MxPx, Victory Records (Across Five Aprils, Feed Her To The Sharks, Otep) signed the group in 2011. These Hearts would drop two albums with the label, 2011’s Craig Owens produced Forever Ended Yesterday and their swan song, 2013’s Yours To Take, produced by Kevin Kumetz (Boston Manor, I Am The Avalanche, Pentimento).

Cro-Mags Release New EP “From The Grave”

Cro-Mags are making your holidays hardcore.

The legendary New York hardcore act have dropped their second EP of 2019 From The Grave today via Victory Records (Don’t Sleep, Feed Her To The Sharks, Reverend Horton Heat.) The EP clocks in barely at 10 and a half minutes long. It’s their follow-up to Don’t Give In which dropped back in June.

You can purchase the EP here.

The band are currently working on a new album slated for a 2020 release, making it their first full-length since 2000’s Revenge. 

Cro-Mags Drop First Music Video In 27 Years “No One’s Victim”

A lot can happen over the span of 27. That’s how long it took NYC hardcore legends Cro-Mags to drop a new music video.

Punching in at 95 seconds, “No One’s Victim” hits hard and shows the band high energy shows during their headlining European tour and shows with the Misfits in 2019. It is the band’s first video since 1992’s “The Path To Perfection.” Their previous video, 1987’s “We Gotta Know,” helped launch the band into popularity via MTV.

“This is our first ‘real’ video since “We Gotta Know” because it’s a real look at the live energy of Cro-Mags, it’s not some staged video, its real, raw footage shot at our shows,” frontman Harley Flanagan said in a press release.

“No One’s Victim” comes from their upcoming 3-song EP From The Grave which drops December 6 on Victory Records (Dead Girls Academy, Feed Her To The Sharks, Victorian Halls.)

A new full-length is scheduled to come out early next year.

Like Torches Drop Video For “Silver Lines”

Today is the release date of Like Torches long-awaited album Loves And Losses, and they’re celebrating with a music video.

The Swedish group have dropped their video for “Silver Lines,” a track that was unveiled last year to tease Loves And Losses and to announce their signing to American label Victory Records (Cro-Mags, Feed Her To The Sharks, Reverend Horton Heat) last summer.

Frontman Jonathan Kärn talked about the track, saying, “Sometimes you feel like everything around you is falling apart. Nothing goes the way you planned, and you’re doing everything you can to find some kind of light in the end of the tunnel. It’s like the chorus reads, ‘Somewhere high in a golden sky, memories, broken dreams, burning in the light.’ Somewhere out there, there’s an answer. You just have to find it.”
