Studio Videos

Atlantic Hearts don't make studio diaries.. but if they did, they'd probably be the shortest diaries in the world.

Everybody's Stoked..

We've got a new vocalist.
Dan of 'Sleepless in Seattle'/'Eradicate The Cure' fame.
check out what he sounds like here.

We're stoked, He's stoked, You should be stoked too.

We're hoping to record a 4 track demo or something as soon as we've got our shit sorted, we'll be contributing a couple of tracks to the South East Hardcore comp CD that Jamie(Never Grow Up Promotions) is putting out on his new label Fist In The Air Records.


..i think that's about it for now.

if you've got us on myspace these blogs are probably seeming pretty fucking pointless as everything gets posted on there too but fuck it this is bound to come in useful at some point.

Man Down

So after tonights show, Ryan, Sam and I were talking and basically we reached the decision that for the direction we're looking to take the band in, we need to look for a new vocalist.
to be honest, it was a fucking hard decision to make and even harder to actually go through with. it was a conversation i wasn't looking forward to at all, but i've been talking to james and he understands and appreciates our honesty with him.

there's absolutely no hard feelings between us and no doubt we'll still be hanging out at local shows from time to time, including his next 'Rumble In The Ghetto' promotions show on April 9th wich so far is looking to have nothing short of an amazing line up!

this does now of course mean that we'll be looking for a new vocalist.someone with a scream/shout along the lines of November Coming Fire, The Ghost of a Thousand & Dead Swans would be sick so message/comment us if you're interested cos we'll be starting tryouts in the next couple of weeks.

also james has asked me to give a mention to any oldschool hardcore/punk type bands out there looking for a vocalist he's no doubt up for starting something new!

They'll Print Anything These Days..

“I want it to be like that scene in Back to the Future.”
Atlantic Hearts drummer Glenn Harvey, 19, has high hopes for his new band but time travelling is not on the agenda just yet.
“I hope that when people see us it’s like that bit where Marty McFly plays the guitar solo to the 50’s prom crowd and no-one knows what to make of it,” he explained. The Canterbury band formed this summer from the ashes of hardcore punk trio Truths. Guitarist Ryan Thompson, 18, bassist Sam Bradford, 19, and vocalist James Matthews, 20, complete the line up and according to Glenn, they plan on disregarding musical rules for this new venture. “We feel like we don’t have to stay in one genre with this band,” he said.Internet videos have surfaced, showcasing songs that will be properly aired at the debut show later this month. The sound is similar to Truths’ but with an unpredictable element leading the songs to cover a wide range of ideas and emotions. “It’s making a lot of difference having an actual singer in the band,” said Glenn, acknowledging the guitarist and vocalist role Ryan played in their former outfit. “Our music is going in a new direction."
Glenn and Ryan’s former bands were known for chaotic live shows which often featured flailing limbs and swinging instruments as members got caught up in the heat of the moment. Promising more of the same, Glenn said: “We’re going to give it all we’ve got. The songs aren’t emotionless pop songs. The energy is there and we want to bring it out live.”
Plans for the immediate future are recording their first batch of songs before gigging “as much as possible”. Glenn explained that Truths created a solid foundation for Atlantic Hearts to build from. “When we started out my mates weren’t really bothered but when they heard us they were surprised it was half decent music. In Atlantic Hearts we want to make something that people want to listen to not because their friends are playing it but because they like the band.”

thanks to Chris from Trial of Fifty for sorting out the interview!

Start the machine..

So far we have pretty much 3 solid songs and we're hoping to get another 2/3 done before the first show, October 23rd in Canterbury.

anyone who is coming to this show: make us believe that CT shows are still something to be fucking proud of.. the days of xCANAANx and NCF might be over but they're not forgotten by a long shot.

Canterbury people.. live up to the reputation that you have. With bands like Fastpoint, Pay No Respect, Rip It Up and Our Time Down Here playing, i think that the Northgate Community Centre could build a decent rep for itself after this show.. not to mention CT fest in december. Brace yourself.

In the meantime, raw demos to be put up on the myspace soon, yadda yadda yadda.
