To promote their new album, 'Our Horse is Dead', Sydney based band 'The Heartbreak Club' will be hitting the road throughout May, June and July to showcase their material to audiences nation wide.
Who exactly are The Heartbreak Club you say?
Once a straight-up parody of angst-ridden pop, The Heartbreak Club are rapidly becoming Australia's beacon of hope for Geek Rock; spearheading a new wave of 1990's inspired intelligent, ironic and self-deprecating punk-infused tunes. Drawing influences from bands such as Weezer, The Get Up Kids and Motion City Soundtrack the band is quickly drawing a following and generating interest within the industry.
Since forming in early 2006, The Heartbreak Club have extensively toured Australia and the USA; had their debut EP “Lamecore” played on 300 college and speciality-commercial radio stations in the US, Australia and Canada; their single, 'Bethanie' has been featured on ABC-TV's Rage. In the short but successful existence, they have also graced the stage with such acts including Faker, The Sleepy Jackson, Jonah Matranga, Bodyjar and Karnivool.
After 2 EP's, countless tours of Australia, tours of Japan and America and radio play on Triple J, Nova and Triple M the band recorded their debut full length with legendary producer Ed Rose [The Get Up Kids, Motion City Soundtrack]. The result...
“The Heartbreak Club have recorded a new, darker and grittier album that is 'unapologetically melodic; adopting a brutally honest, confessional and grungier tone' than previous efforts, with the band noting their admiration for Weezer's 'Pinkerton', Regurgitator's 'Unit' and Nirvana's 'In Utero'.”
The Heartbreak Club are a band that can take their music seriously but not themselves; a band that walks a tightrope between satire and sympathy as they critique the murky waters of male narcissism, lust, lost-love, alienation, cultural inferiority, obsession and, err... impotence?
