Hellbound Hearts to release debut album ‘Film Noir’ in April
“A definite British sound to their rock ‘n’ roll… all killer no filler that demands you sit up and pay attention” – Uber Rock
Yorkshire, UK alternative rock band Hellbound Hearts have announced the release of their first full-length studio album ‘Film Noir’.
The new release is preceded by the premiere of a new single/lyric video ‘Suffering The Radio’: https://youtu.be/yo_S6m0t5pg
Produced by Matt Ellis at Axis Studios (Black Spiders, Terrorvision), ‘Film Noir’ is a commanding collection of songs that range from feel-good melodies to dark, sinister hooks, whilst all the time packing in stand out singalong choruses and heavy grooves.
Taking their cue from previous ep releases like ‘The Proximity Effect’, ‘Outside’, and stand-alone single ‘Nancy’s House’, some might be surprised to learn that Hellbound Hearts debut album isn’t what the band originally had lined up to release. “It wasn’t working,” explains lead vocalist and guitarist Danny Lambert, “we’d had some changes and time to reflect, and whilst the songs were good, we strongly wanted to be our own band and not be like a 1000 others flooding the market. So we canned the album, went back to the drawing board and re-grouped, re-composed and wrote a bunch of new songs, much more fitting with our sound.”
If there was any doubt the band had taken a risk shelving the original album, those doubts are blown away by the opening blast of ‘Suffering The Radio’, with the song setting the theme for the whole album; strong, driven, hook embedded songs to the very last note.
‘Film Noir’ is truly a classy debut, and with Hellbound Hearts you’ll discover a band that are more than the sum of their parts, they a live force to be reckoned with, and as shown countless times on the new album, they make astonishing heavy, catchy and standout music laced with wicked jagged riffs and pop-smart melodies.
Be prepared, it’s time to go dark.
Hellbound Hearts debut album ‘Film Noir’ is out Friday 7th April 2017.
