The Smoking Hearts Tour March/April 2010
The Smoking Hearts will be stamping their mark on the British music scene on March 8th 2010 with the release of debut album Pride Of Nowhere. The band has booked up a punk rock collection of dates around the record's release. Storming out of rural England, The Smoking Hearts unleash a whirlwind combination of relentless punk rock and cutting rock'n'roll that is best experienced in the flesh so check out the full list of dates below.
Graceful is definitely not a word to describe The Smoking Hearts. Live shows have seen guitar headstocks smashed and drum kits sprawled across stages. It is not uncommon to find half the band on the floor with the crowd and, on occasion, half the crowd on stage with the band.
In their short career as a band, The Smoking Hearts have travelled thousands of miles, opening shows for the likes of Gallows, Bring Me The Horizon, Winnebago Deal and The Supersuckers, as well as some iconic acts such as Misfits and Skid Row.
Recorded on a farm in Bedfordshire with Nick Mailing (Quireboys/Trashlight Vision) and Mastered by Russ Russell (Napalm Death/The Wildhearts) over the course of just 14 days (and nights), Pride of Nowhere clocks in at a frantic 29 minutes and 25 seconds. It is a record for many states of mind - these are songs that will inspire attitudes to party, drink, fight. But ultimately it is the anti-thesis of sitting around and letting things happen to you; it has everything to do with making life happen for yourself.
