Hello people of the world ! You have found your way to the heart strings myspace page. Its not as dashing as our website which is worth a peek, at www.theheartstrings.com (there are different songs to listen to on the music player) , but its still nice and red !
We’re a North London based band who’ve been together for a few years now. Our ranks have swelled to 6 onstage, though on record, we sound more like 60 on some songs. String sections, horn sections, a b-zillion backing vocals, piano, organ, glock, accordion, harp, the songs just kept calling out for them !
Here is a not entirely rough (felt based) approximation of what you might see if you came along to a show sometime!! ...
You can our first two singles 'Jose Fernandez' and 'Kids' and our debut album Try Fly Blue Sky on itunes by clicking on the link on the left of the page.
