'I Wouldn't Change A Thing': Ecca Vandal Reaches New Heights With 'LOOKING FOR PEOPLE TO UNFOLLOW'

Have Heart tour starts next week

Staff Writer
Originally Appeared In

Have Heart launched onto the worldwide hardcore scene in 2006 with the release of their debut full-length The Things We Carry.  The world of hardcore was caught by surprise and calling the album “breakthrough” would be an understatement. Follow up album 2008’s Songs To Scream At The Sun debuted in the top 200 of the Billboard charts, and is the sound of an open call or a challenge to what people expect from a hardcore band. Lyrically and vocally, frontman Pat Flynn puts forward nothing short of ten intense and chilling songs-opening up personally in a way he only hinted at for The Things We Carry. The band went from a regional hardcore band with a passionate following to Boston’s worldwide hardcore torch-bearers that would play every continent except Africa and Antarctica, selling out shows everywhere with the likes of Bane, Ceremony, Verse, Madball, Terror and even playing 50,000 person festivals in Columbia with Coheed & Cambria. This May we see Have Heart returning to our shore...
