CHOOSE YOUR OWN ADVENTURE

Introducing HEARTSREVOLUTION

I first heard HEARTSREVOLUTION's debut EP Switchblade back in the late summer but somehow it got lost on my iPod and I rediscovered it a few weeks ago. Their story is this: boyfriend/girlfriend buy a used UPS cube truck, convert it into a mobile store to sell ice cream and toys out of and start a band. You cannot talk about these guys without referencing Crystal Castles, both band share a love of scrappy/screaming female vocals and beats/electronics that sound like your Atari throwing up (but in a good way). The two bands have even appeared on a split 6" together (CYOA/XxxxcZx ME) on glow in the band vinyl. Unlike CC, they also bring a profound love of indie rock to the table. Vocalist Lo can sound sweet like sugar Amy Milan of Stars at times, and lyrically, they remind me of CSS.

They have just released a video for their latest single C.Y.O.A. (Choose Your Own Adventure), it's pretty great. Sundrak has a few remixes available here, I epecially love the LA Riots remix of Switchblade.
