Heart Attack Kids

It’s a cliché that’s been beaten to death – the idea that something is “greater than the sum of its parts” – and yet there’s really no other way to describe what makes Heart Attack Kids so utterly compelling. Infected by the influence of riff-driven punk outfits like The Bronx and fellow Londoners Single Mothers, Heart Attack Kids set off to establish a sound of their own. It didn’t take long for

them to turn the heads of some notable industry influencers, leading to a slew of releases on various imprints and some high-profile shows alongside acts like Billy Talent, Rise Against, the Gaslight Anthem, and dozens more. The explosive sonic concoction showcased on the sophomore 2019 LP, Bad Luck like Gold, is a hell of a lot more potent than you’d expect from just two dudes and their instruments. Cut at Vespa Studios with Eric Ratz and Cancer Bats frontman Liam Cormier in the producer chair, these 12 tracks hit with the energy of an atom bomb and the urgency of its impending detonation.The album builds atop the foundation of relentless garage punk riffs and crushing rhythms established on their debut LP, 2016’s No Future. “There really aren’t any frills here,” assures Ellul. “Just pure power is what we’re going for.”

With a new album on the horizon, Heart Attack Kids keeps the thunder but changes the lineup. Heart Attack Kids is writing new songs with massive gang vocals to go along with fuzzed out guitar riffs. Mark Swan, a London musical veteran, has stepped into the ring to lay down the booming rhythm as the drummer for the rambunctious duo. With a background in all genres of music, Mark brings a complexity to his drummer style that stands out in a crowd. “We’ve learned a ton working together, hashing out new ideas for songs and trying to push the envelope as far as we can,” begins Ellul about how the whirlwind of the last year will shape their latest release. “Everything’s still built on the same foundation, but I feel like this is further honed, with a higher voltage and bigger impact.” Basically, in both their words and music, Heart Attack Kids are blunt, boisterous, and bullsh*t-free. Their chemistry is undeniable and carries as much clout from the stage as it does the stereo. “We take a lot of pride in our live performance,” Ellul states assuredly. Taking on tinges of their collective influences, from AC/DC to Dead Kennedys to Queens of the Stone Age, Heart Attack Kids deliver a live experience as unforgettable as a kick to the teeth, albeit far more enjoyable. “We love being onstage and bring 150% to every show, whether it’s for five people or 1,500,” Ellul enthuses. Heart Attack Kids plan to release their best album yet in late 2021, welcoming hordes of new converts into their cult of compelling and combustible rock n’ roll.
