The Bleeding Hearts band members Sam Madison (vocals, guitar), Joe Yerry (guitar), Jimbo Britt (bass) and Bill Eagen (drums) are tearing up Raleigh, NC with their old school, with a twist of contemporary punk, rock and roll.

They have matured both lyrically and musically with grace through their first album, “Stayin’ After Class” released in 2004. Some thought they weren’t tough enough for the rock and roll music scene and called them liars. “We got a lot of attention right away, and there was instantly a backlash because of it,” remembers Yerry. “Most of that album was silly, but it was like rock ‘n’ roll high school by an unknown band in Raleigh.”

We don’t think it was silly, we believe well written music comes from your soul and from subjects that you are passionate about or that may be personal in nature. Who the hell was not passionate about high school? We might not have known it then, but we certainly do now. We have all moved on from high school and our glory days, and so have The Bleeding Hearts.

Trying times lied ahead. A band member quit, there was a tedious search for a replacement, and a divorce for their frontman. All this and they kept writing and kept on playing. Charging on and employing their accrued emotions. This my friends, is not what makes a liar. This was fuel!

That fuel was high octane that was placed into the 5.4-liter DOHC V8 engine of their next album. “Nothin’ On But The Radio” was released in 2008. A tattoo laden sex goddess in retro headphones is the perfect artwork choice for the album cover. The band claims the four year wait between the records was worth it for them. I wonder what 2012 holds? Rumors of a new album this fall have been heard. It has been just about 4 years after all.

The vein of truth and honesty of their bleeding hearts is instilled in their lyrics. Their music has more hooks that a New England fishing boat and is pure rock and roll. Their guitar rifts are raw and edgy. The entire album plays out very smoothly. Drawing you into their world with complete compassion and understanding.
