The Exploding Hearts - 2 Albums

This band could've have been and should have been HUGE!!! But it was all cut short when 3 of the 4 band members died in a car crash. I got this album about 3 or 4yrs ago and fell in love with it. Catchy hooks and guitar riffs. This was an awesome band!!


Quote:

The Exploding Hearts were a punk rock and power pop band from Portland, Oregon. The band comprised of vocalist/guitarist Adam Cox, bassist Matt Fitzgerald, guitarist Terry Six, and drummer Jeremy Gage.

On July 20, 2003 the band was in a car accident which claimed the lives of three members. Their touring van flipped over on Interstate 5 just north of Eugene, Oregon while en route from San Francisco to Portland. Jeremy Gage and Adam Cox were thrown from the vehicle and pronounced dead at the scene. The driver, Matthew Fitzgerald, died at a hospital. Terry Six and band manager Rachelle Ramos both survived with minor injuries.
The band ceased to exist in the aftermath of the accident. Their popularity has continued to grow through word of mouth, however.

No attempt was made to continue using the band name in any capacity.

"Throw Away Style" - I don't know what the hell the video montage is about... but listen to the audio!!


Reviews:

"BEST ALBUM OF 2002, Hell probably of the last five years" - BM of MRR

"BEST LP OF 2002, this "Guitar Romantic" LP is an amazing mix of power pop and punk 77, from "Rumours in Town", great 77 style Clash punk rock, to "Modern Kicks", 78 style Boys power pop... no shit here!!! You will love it all...." - ModPunkPopArchives

"BEST SINGLE OF 2002 HANDS DOWN." - BM - MRR

"BEST ALBUM OF 2002." - Singles Going Steady

"(MAKING) TEENAGE FACES" may very well be the catchiest power pop song you've ever heard, and it was written this year! You will be singing along by the second chorus as this number tattoos itself into your brain!These guys keep plenty of punk attitude and power in their pop!" - knowcrap.com

"This band is hands down the best power pop band. They know their business and get it right in so many ways that i am truly FLOORED by the results. This is the real deal and they are just as good or BETTER than any of their influences. From the kick off of "Modern Kicks", an instant classic if their ever were one, on through "Sleeping Aides +Razorblades" to the truly SUBLIME "Throwaway Style". This record has been glued to the turntable for weeks.. the Exploding Hearts are FUCKING IT!!!"- Mike Frame - Tablet News Paper
