"Gritty, sweaty party rock"
-Time Out NY
"CMJ means a lot of different things to a lot of different people," said The Unsacred Hearts‘ frontman, Joe , the Pianos stage tonight. His subtle but unmissable note of sarcasm made it very easy to tell what the festival—and its attendant hoopla—meant to him: business as usual. The Hearts, a joyously unhinged quartet whose brief tunes neatly summarize the last half century of rock & roll, might have been playing Manhattan’s trendiest neighborhood on the eve of one of its most cutthroat popularity contests. But they weren’t pandering to anybody."
Hank, Time Out NY TONY blog
"The Unsacred Hearts took the stage, grabbed it by the throat and never let go for a second. Their loud, fast, and scientific sound is equally drawn from post-punk sources like Gang of Four and the Fall, pre-punk bands like Dead Boys and Electric Eels, and more modern-day acts like Rocket from the Crypt. Led by singer Joe Willie, who jumped, strutted, and raised hell while spitting out his dead-serious lyrics like a cross between Roger Daltrey and Stiv Bators, the band was razor sharp and dangerous. Travis Harrison on drums played like he was on fire, guitarist Dave Siegel reeled off angular chords and the noise they made wasn’t joyous exactly, but it did feel like you were being lifted off the floor an inch at a time."

"The Unsacred Hearts, for whom The Deli has had much love, were blowing up the stage as I walked in. They're less of a band than they are UPS delivery-men each song a neat little 3 minute package of tight catchy riffs and shout/sung lyrics. Each song was like getting a hallmark card from your Nana but instead of there being a ten dollar bill inside it just says "Fuck you."
The Deli Magazine blog
"It is inevitable. When you rock like Iggy and howl like Black Francis you're bound to take something over. Being ballsy is one thing, but being ballsy and all balls-in is completely different. The Unsacred Hearts are just that...It's American rock with American heart. -When Apes Rule the Earth

...and THE UNSACRED HEARTS / MAN IN GRAY Split 7"
"Delicious. Two songs each from two seriously wicked bands -- what more is there to life? This 7" sees them playing more of their deliciously edgy garage rock, heavy on memorable riffs and solid melodies." -Indieville
