5e3990148198d11b60548dac

Formed in 2015 by Sean Nolan (vocals, guitar), Sean Nolan and The Heartmakers is Chris Cross (vocals, lead guitar), Kyle Nolan (synthesizers, keyboards), Matt Bayer (bass), and Kenny Duclos (drums).
Since their conception, they’ve played countless shows throughout Brooklyn and Manhattan, released two records… And have recently wrapped up their forthcoming record, “The Machineries of Joy”, set to be released on May 13th 2020.
On their new single “Or, the Whale”, Sean (vocals / guitar) comments: “It’s a song I wrote inspired by the themes present in Herman Melville’s novel Moby Dick. Whatever we pursue, whether it be a relationship, a career, starting a band, it can be deeply frustrating.
Sometimes, we blame ourselves for the failures that come along the way or we look for reasons as to why something didn’t work out. But ultimately, it’s the journey that matters most, the pursuit. It’s also important to try and find what motivates us. If we’re constantly striving, unhappy with where we are because we haven’t arrived, we’ll never catch that white whale.

(review) Den!ed-The Darkest Timeline

cover

European punk scene flourishes day by day with so many great bands releasing great records! This time, Den!ed from Belgium released one helluva record. Hailing from Bruxelles, I must admit that I haven˙t heard for them until this one. Here we get 5 songs of excellent melodic punk, filled with energy and above all, melodies that are so great they made my skin crawl with delight. Black Sails and Circle Of Lies are my personal favorites on this e.p. but all of the songs are just absolutely fantastic. It is fast, it is melodic, it is anthemic and just made for listening again and again, and repeat it again. The record stops just in time to make you want more, to make you want full length as soon as possible. Great one!
