   About Heartbreak Club
{THIS IS YOUR BIO SECTION}

May 2009

What has become of Heartbreak Club (HBC)?

Once a straight-up parody of angst-ridden pop, HBC are rapidly becoming Australia's beacon of hope for Geek Rock; spearheading a new wave of 1990's inspired intelligent, ironic and self-deprecating punk-infused tunes.

In doing so, HBC have recorded a new, darker and grittier album that is 'unapologetically melodic; adopting a brutally honest, confessional and grungier tone' than previous efforts, with the band noting their admiration for Weezer's 'Pinkerton', Regurgitator's 'Unit' and Nirvana's 'In Utero'.

US Producer Ed Rose (Motion City Soundtrack, The Get Up Kids) and Aussie engineer Matt Voigt (The Killers, Midnight Oil, The Living End) were locked in Melbourne's Sing Sing Studios with HBC over February and March 2009 recording the aforementioned album.

The album 'Our Horse Is Dead' is to be released in March 2010, co-ordinating a release and tour schedule in Australia, the USA and Japan. Radio has already embraced the debut single 'Are You Leaving Me?' with spins on Triple J's 'Short. Fast.Loud', Nova (nights) and Triple M.

HBC will do 2 tours in late 2009: The first 4-week tour will be of metro/capital city dates, followed by a 5-week all-regional and rural based tour.

Since forming in early 2006, Heartbreak Club have extensively toured Australia and the USA; had their debut EP ...lamecore played on 300+ college and specialty-commercial radio stations in the US, Australia and Canada; had Bethanie featured on ABC-TV's Rage; and played alongside Faker, The Sleepy Jackson, Jonah Matranga, Bodyjar and Karnivool.

HBC had bunkered down with Ed Rose in 2008 to belt out O Tempora! O Mores! which was recorded hot on the heels of HBC's first tour of the USA, and combined chunky riffs, sing-along choruses and punchy synth lines to create a veritable bevy of audible delicacies that drip with irony and are coated with sincerity; recommended for fans of Weezer, Motion City Soundtrack, The Pixies and The Get Up Kids.

HBC are a band that can take their music seriously but not themselves; a band that walks a tightrope between satire and sympathy as they critique the murky waters of male narcissism, lust, lost-love, alienation, cultural inferiority, obsession and, err... impotence?

{THIS IS YOUR PRESS SECTION}

HBC “channel the sounds of The Get Up Kids, Saves the Day and Weezer into one hell of an impressive powerpop effort. Whilst avoiding ripping off the aforementioned bands Heartbreak Club have their own take on things, which is refreshing to hear... 8/10” - BLUNT (Feb 09)

“O Tempora! O Mores! 8/10. With catchy guitar riffs and sing-along choruses, 'O Tempora' makes for a fantastic listen” - Tsunami Mag (December 08)

“With their new release O Tempora! O Mores! Heartbreak Club have created one of the most addictive EP's I've heard in a long time. The five songs are the perfect blend of punk, pop and rock music. The tunes are accessible, but the clever lyrics ensure these tunes stay left of the mainstream” - Oz Music Scene (Nov. 08)

“Australia has a long and proud history of satire and self-deprecation, with names like Chris Lilley, Barry Humphries and the boys from ABC's Chaser series famed for bringing larrikin humour to the stage. Now a group of musical “neo-punks” are preparing to follow in the footsteps of their comedic countrymen with a new manner of making music” - Katherine Feeney, Brisbane Times (Oct 08)

“These songs are on par with the best in the genre, and their take on it puts them across as being smarter and more approachable than most” - Jeff Walker, Merredin Wheatbelt Mercury
