"Like a lot of cool bands now, such as The Secret Machines, this band is from Texas. I caught this band live last year as an opener for Electric Six. They were actually nothing like that. They had more in common with The Darkness and The Datsuns. That means they are more into AC/DC that one would expect. The song "Mouthful of Love" is a full on burst of pure rock and roll. They have some relationship with that other band from Austin, Trail of Dead. They sound like many rock and roll bands except that they have two vocalists, male and female, Chris Hodge and Jennifer Stephens. "Starlite" starts out with the sound of The Who. The songs of Young Heart Attack are about having fun, pleasure, and taking life to the edge. This is about having a good time. Listening to this loud embraces the sonic power of rock."

Misty Rowe would be proud and shakin' her Daisys!

"If a high-energy movie comedy about high school/college stoners was being made (think a modern-day "Dazed and Confused", "Animal House", etc.), this band would be the first I'd pick and NOT any emo or faux punk stuff--at first listen these songs made me feel young again, like I was listening to Cheap Trick back in high school when "In Color" first hit the streets--the dual high-pitched (but semi-sweet, nasty and clear as Hell's bells) male/female vocals are a treat, the keyboards are just right and the guitarist is a MADMAN! My only suggestion for the next album is that the songs' structures could be tightened up a bit (probably by a more experienced producer), but for this, their 1st album, at least half the songs are bona-fide keepers and when is the last time you've said THAT about a record?"

Awesome Quality Rock from Young Heart Attack

"This band just get better and better. I'm not going to repeat what the other reviews have said about Young Heart Attack's musical and vocal abilities. I've been going to rock gigs for almost 30 years and after seeing Young Heart Attack live in London, I just had to buy the album when it came out. It was well worth it. This album conveys the incredible energy of their songs magnificently.



If you want a modern up to date encapsulation of the quintessential essence of rock - This is it! Seminal influences can be recognised and if you know your Rock Pantheon you will pick up the cheeky little musical references. However, they just serve to inseminate the ova of Young Heart Attack's own original creativity. It is developed and incarnated and Young Heart Attack's music springs like a torrent of freshly spawned piranha instantly devouring any apathy or lassitude your soul may harbour.



This band deserve to make it big.

See them live for the Real Deal!!
