Album Reviews

Belgium’s Dear Hearts are back! ‘Old Shirts’ is the band’s new 4-song EP and from the second a killer lead takes flight on the opening track, you know you are in for something good. Think Social D with the same amount of melancholy that is usually reserved for a Bouncing Souls song.

After having set the bar high right from the start, they have no problem keeping it there with ‘Lost Boy’ and the title track, before rounding things out with their take on Misfits’ ‘Hybrid Moments’. These guys may not have the most original sound you can come across, but they do have solid songwriting chops and their enthusiasm is downright contagious.
