You don’t have to be a musical geologist to know which bits of rock hold the most weight for you. Even so, you won’t get wedged into any one sub-genre when you listen to Austin’s own Black Heart Saints.
The quartet has been cranking up their amps for the last five years on sediments of hard rock, classic rock, alternative, grunge, and more, with arena-ready vocals and soulful guitar riffs that demand repeated listens. Recently it’s been getting real heavy for Black Heart Saints, who canonize their latest efforts onto the upcoming four-song EP, Misery. Try and catch Black Heart Saints tonight at Empire Control Room, but even if you’re not willing to rock out on a school night, you can still get down with the Texas-travel-inspired music video and Misery‘s lead single, “Lines”!
