Heartsounds – Until We Surrender


Ben Murray and Laura Nichol were previously in the metalcore beast that was Light This City but their true calling has apparently always been punkrock. So when their previous band came to a halt, they were quick to grab the chance and formed Heartsounds as a duo with Murray and Nichol sharing guitar and vocal duties and Murray also tracking bass and drums on what would become their debut album, “Until We Surrender”.

If I didn’t know I would’ve never suspected them to have been in a metalcore band before. All you could say is that that’s probably where they picked up their speed and technical chops. Other than that “Until We Surrender” is filled with fast yet poppy punkrock songs that harken back to the mid 90s Fat Wreck sound… think Strung out or 88 Fingers Louie but with additional female vocals and a bit of a No Motiv vibe at times. It’s all positive though and I’m already psyched to see them at this year’s Fest!
Score: 8 out of 10
