Any fans? Their new album, Arrow, is outstanding. Here's a couple tracks:
Heartless Bastards - Marathon (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LODPX8ycXEI#)
Heartless Bastards - Skin and Bone (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dzx08KPX5cU#)
Heartless Bastards - Down In The Canyon (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gURGjnRGIXY#)
I was about to start a thread on this, you beat me to it. Definitely diggin' this album a lot more than the previous one. They really refined their sound me thinks. Only For You is an early favorite.

Heartless Bastards are WAY awesome live! Can't wait for that Tulsa show.
Strongly considering picking up a last-minute ticket for their show tonight with Hacienda. Haven't seen the Bastards live in six years, but it sounds like they've come a long way. Really enjoying their new sound.
Holy cats! I came here this morning with the sole purpose to post about this band. Luckily they're playing with Hacienda in Philly Saturday!
the bass on this album is durty, 3 spins later and this one has really grown on me. I'll be at the Birmingham show! (possible new favorite for 2012?)
sweet, i have been waiting for their new album. thanks for the heads up, love these guys!
Arrow has been somewhat of a revelation for me. It's outstanding! Very much looking forward to their show next week.. loves me some Hacienda as well.
Happy to see the enthusiasm! One of the few bands I've been jonesin to see for some time now but their live shows always elude me (them and J Roddy). I think this album could easily end up near the top of my 2012 list...it keeps getting better with each listen and my favorite track changes constantly too.
new album is superbbbbbbb! i think they keep getting better, too...love 'marathon'
I love the first half of the album, then it peeters out for a bit for me. But that often happens when listening to new music for me. Sometimes I think I should start in the middle.
I'm enjoying the album.

I was gonna say man, that last track is channeling some major Sabbath right there. Love it!
Letterman! Tonight! and Paul Rudd!

Saw HB two nights ago for the first time, and I was blown away. The new album (still my favorite this year) translates incredibly well live...really some powerful stuff, and they definitely channel some Zeppelin during build-ups. Not to mention Erika's pipes. She's hands down one of the best vocalists I've seen live.
Go out and see 'em!
P.S. Shared some time with the lead guitarist and bassist afterwards and they were incredibly cool despite being road-worn. They asked if I had any strip clubs to recommend, but - alas - I did not.

i wish musicians would do that more often--it's kind of bad ass
(awkward though if the noise is coming from other patrons there NOT for the show)
It is a great record. I know nothing about them. is the rest of their albums like the latest?

This new album and The Mountain are must haves!
All This Time is great too. The new one is hands down the best though. Go see them live..they are incredible. One of my favorite shows this year so far.
on Conan tonight.

As well as Stairs and Elevators. I think all of their releases are solid.
i got on the wagon a little too late and missed their show here in february but oh.mah.gawd., i am so so so in love with the new album. her voice kills me in the best way possible :thumbsup:
I've been listening to this a lot this weekend. I have to say that I love her voice too. The entire album is fantastic. I don't think there's one song I don't like.
However, I've been playing this while my class works in groups and I am disappointed to report that they hate them. High school kids only like rap and Nickelback from what I've seen though.
Only For You - I can't help myself from replaying it. MBE stream is getting me through the day!
Heartless Bastards tonight with mahg33tah. It was what I expected. I love their albums and they were fucking great! Futurebirds,too.
Erika, my dear...

Did you stay to hang at the dance club.
very enjoyable. She is a good frontwoman- great presence and voice. easy on the eyes too.
I had no desire to fight for the rail but the place was only 1/2 full, so Yac and I kinda claimed it by default. Yac being the gentleman he was, he gave up the rail towards the end to a couple behind him who were more enthusiastic than he. I think he couldn't handle being 18" from Erica for that long.
We did not stay for the dance club. Boy would we have not fit in.
I've always thought you and Yac could fit in anywhere. I'm excited for next Friday!
Saw them this past Friday night. Really enjoyed the show. Her voice really is amazing. A little disappointed by the lack of stage presence. She can use a little more personality as a frontwoman. Nonetheless, her voice is a force of nature. Totally enjoyed the show. Maybe too much. Got home and couldn't sleep. Thank goodness there were others awake who would put up with my rambling for awhile before I wound down. :beer: You know who you are.
