Heavy Hearts have released their fourth album titled "Bliss." This album really shows the path and solid direction the band is going with their music. They have really made an alternative and punk album that really hits. They have a similar sound to that of a 90's alternative band mixed with punk. I you like 90's rock or the pop punk scene today, then you will probably like these guys. They have done a solid job here. When looking at the recording quality of this album, the album has been recorded very well and has a nice sound to it. The instrumentation could use just a little bit, to show off the bands skill, but all in all, it's really good. Now onto the vocals and lyrics, the vocals on this album have been done quite well. He can certainly sing and sing well. The vocalist has a nice clear voice and you can hear every word, so he is a great guy to have. With the lyrics, the band goes for messages and songs of pain. They seem to have a person or entity they want to be away from and be freed from the weight on their shoulders. We feel that a lot of people feel this way about on thing or another, so we hope the listeners can relate. great job. If you are looking for a single to this album there isn't one. So just pick a song and give it a listen to get the feel of the album. Heavy Hearts have made an album that really brings the full true essence the band is looking for. We think the band has written an album that will finally get them the attention they deserve. Listen to this album to decide for yourself what you think of it. We like it a lot.

Heavy Hearts have released their third album which they decided to self title. This is also the bands debut indie label release. These guys have a sound that mixes 90's alternative with punk music and it's quite interesting to listen to. This follows the style and sound the band created with their previous two releases. These guys have a sound that right now is pretty much their own, as bands in the scene they are in, are not doing this alternative sound. They have done a really good job on this album. When looking at the recording quality of this album, the album has a pretty decent sound but it could be a little bit louder in the vocals. The instrumentation is not bad on this album, the band can certainly play, but they don't go too over the top which is sometimes nice to listen to. Right in the middle as we like it. Now onto the vocals and lyrics, the vocalist has a really nice rock voice here, with a little bit of a hard edge to it. He is nice, crisp and clear so you can hear all the lyrics. We wish either he was a little louder or the music was a quieter so we can hear the lyrics a little more. With the lyrics, the band has decided to go with messages of a relationship where one person is going faster than the other, things not being able to last, being caught up in two sides of a relationship and just relationships in general seem t be the theme here. As everyone gets into relationships, these songs have elements people can relate to. If you are looking for a single to this album, give the song "Garden Arm" your attention as this song really rocks and showcases the album the best. It is our favourite on the album. Heavy Hearts have made 4 songs full of emotion and you can tell just what point of their life they were at during the recording of this album. We enjoyed this album. Hopefully the band can get out of Ontario, as they deserve it. Overall not a bad album. Listen to this album to decide for yourself what you think of it.

Heavy Hearts have released their second album titled "Somewhere, A While Ago." This album is a continuation of the sound they established on their debut, and they keep up with what the fans want. They have done a pretty solid job on this album as well. When looking at the recording of this album, the album  has been recorded quite well, and the sounds that they get with the instrumentation makes this interesting and a bit different to listen to. Now onto the vocals and lyrics, the vocals sound very good here, in tune and clear, while the lyrics are meaningful in the story they tell. If you are looking for a single for this album, give the song "Garden Arms" your attention, as the is the best of the four songs and it shows how the band has progressed from their first album to now. Heavy Hearts have done a great job on their second album, and it is something you should give a listen to if you haven't yet.

Heavy Hearts - Jacoba

1. Tranquility
2. Between Two Mirrors
3. Passenger
4. Klimek

Heavy Hearts have released their debut album titled " Jacoba." Jacoba takes you on a journey through what the band feels are the important things going on with them and open up their world to you a bit. The faster paced rock hit you just enough to get into it, but not enough to throw you off. This album has been recorded fairly well and the instrumentation is decent for an alternative album. The vocals on the album a pretty solid as well, they give you a bit more of a range then other bands albums do. The song to listen to on this album would be "Tranquility" as this song seems to hit harder then the others and sets the album off well, plus gives you an idea of the rest of the album. Overall, the band has done a alright job with this album and look forward to seeing what they do in the future with this, maybe a little more progression. Give this band a listen and follow what they are up to.
