Artist:Darkest Heartstrings

There are terms for outcasts that take no prisoners; guns for hire, ronin, and rock 'n' roll bands. Darkest Heartstrings are the latter, that's rock, not emo, not effete posturing and definately not K-mart punk shit.

Darkest Heartstrings are building a strong reputation gigging around the Melbourne scene with band members Liam Kennealy (bass), Luke 'Mudsy' Laver (guitar), Leigh Stone (vocals/guitar), and Alana Manix (vocals/drums). The new rock - punk - country quartet arisen from the ashes of acts like the Actioneers and Dolly Blitz, and claim influences as diverse as the Supersuckers, the Church, the Hellacopters, Radio Birdman, the Stooges, MC5, Mid Youth Crisis, Sons Of Lee Marvin, Young Heart Attack, Johnny Cash, Steve Earle, Eighties Matchbox B Line Disaster, Social Distortion, Fu Manchu, Queens Of The Stone Age, Warped, New Christs, Rocket From The Crypt, and Husker Du among others. ...
