Is that a proper looking UK guitar band or what? The Heartbreaks are four sharp-dressed dudes from Lancashire that play some killer guitar pop. Listen to their music and you can pick up bits and pieces of the entirety of British Isles rock history; a little bit Smiths, a little bit U2, a little bit Cure but also whole lotta big melodies and big hooks. There are approx nine billion (we counted) of these sort of UK nostalgia bands on both sides of the Atlantic, but what separates The Heartbreaks is just that, the songs. Nostalgia is great, we love dance rhythms and delay pedals but these boys all bring some serious songwriting chops. Check out “Jealous, Don’t You Know” below, the band’s third single, and hear for yourself.
