The Goldenhearts - Is There Love On Mars? Cover Art by Winston Smith Released November 2010. With an ear for the romantic and the dramatic, the Goldenhearts bring a unique flavor to a familiar genre. The band alternates between electric and acoustic live performances, and they frequently feature a string quartet.

"Is There Love On Mars? , the current record by this San Francisco - based band, is a textured roller-coaster ride of romance, danger, tragedy, and beauty.
