The Blind Hearts

- Absolute Radio
“The Blind Hearts nail this...quality chops, and the rhythm section is cooking”
- David Sinclair, The Times
“Surprisingly good...these boys have got it”
- AmericanaUK
“a slide-driven, harmonica enhanced up-tempo country romp with infectious harmonies that twangs along nicely...a unique sound”
- Maverick Country
“very special indeed...as at home in a smokey country bar as on a stage in Glastonbury”
- PopBucket
“mainstream Americana at its best; the type of record that gets stuck in your head”
- Outline Magazine
The Blind Hearts are a hillbilly rabble of 5 scruffy young guitar pickin, harmony-

It sounds like it'd never work but these boys sing like angels that've just been kicked flying out of the rickety saloon doors of a particularly grubby celestial bar by a tattooed ex-marine called Randy.
The Blind Hearts' forthcoming single, produced by The Charlatans' Mark Collins, is due for release in Autumn 2012.
With first single (Oh Lord and I) Keep On Losing immediately snapped up for a compilation by Midlands based label Horus Music and featured as unsigned Pick of the Week on Absolute Radio, and shows alongside Seasick Steve, Ed Sheeran, Michael Kiwanuka and The Stranglers under their belts, they support Alabama 3 and Ocean Colour Scene this summer.

The Blind Hearts' distinctive yet accessible sound is a rich gumbo of American country, blues, soul and folk elements with the spicy energy of contemporary British guitar bands - as you'd expect from a group of lads who count JJ Cale, Little Feat, Muddy Waters, BB King, Kasabian, Stevie Wonder, Nirvana, Led Zeppelin and The Charlatans amongst their eclectic list of influences.
Singer Andy Gyves' instantly recognisable voice has drawn comparisons with artists as diverse as Richard Ashcroft, PJ Harvey, Bob Dylan, Stevie Nicks, Patti Smith, Ian Brown and Jim Morrison. At the heart of the band is his songwriting partnership with Dan Clark, whose guitar playing and harmony vocals, along with Tom Smith's deft acoustic picking, Simon Julian's nimble, Motown influenced bass grooves and J Hirano's muscular yet infectiously danceable drumming, form an intrinsic part of the band's unique sound.
