The Savage Hearts, hailing from Cavan, Ireland, have released two new songs: "Speeding Bullets" and "Only Lovers Left Alive." This enigmatic ensemble, led by Evan Walsh, former drummer of The Strypes, pays homage to Eddie Cruizer, an underappreciated rock 'n' roll hero. Cruizer, known for his cult drive-in films, has influenced The Savage Hearts' wild and uncontrolled sound.
The Savage Hearts, who recorded at a secret location, combine garage rock, psychedelia, rhythm and blues, cow-punk, and lo-fi-speed-freak-fuzz-mania to produce a one-of-a-kind musical experience. Their sophomore single, "Speeding Bullets," co-written with Ste Kelly of Raglans, is a thuggish bruiser boogie that strains the listener's patience. It perfectly transitions into "Only Lovers Left Alive," a fast-paced lovesick sonata that leaves viewers wanting more.
Since their creation in 2022, The Savage Hearts have considerably impacted the Irish music industry, appearing at festivals such as Electric Picnic and Sea Sessions. They have also performed with legendary bands such as The Boomtown Rats and The Undertones. Their debut track "Gang War" received notice and acclaim, paving the path for cooperation with Blowtorch Records, a well-known independent label from Galway.
The Savage Hearts' electrifying live performances have carried them beyond Ireland, with premiere appearances in London at iconic venues such as the Dublin Castle in Camden and Gaz's Rockin' Blues. As they continue to wow audiences with their raw energy and creative music, the mystery surrounding Eddie Cruizer only adds to their fascination. Who is Eddie Cruizer? Where has he come from? These uncertainties persist, adding to the fascination of The Savage Hearts.
With "Speeding Bullets" and "Only Lovers Left Alive," The Savage Hearts cement their status as creators of explosive, genre-defying music. These songs demonstrate their creative abilities and commitment to honoring the rock 'n' roll tradition. As they continue to carve themselves a niche in the music industry, fans eagerly await the next chapter in their thrilling adventure.
