The Empty Hearts (a name coined by Little Steven from his secret list of unused band names), is a band who sound like musical cohorts who came of age in the 70’s and 80’s music scenes and play by a DIY punk rock code of ethics. A self-proclaimed band of “rock and roll lifers”, they are all connected having come together as a band of friends.”…they’re just having a good time playing some tough, swaggering rock & roll that’s also a lot of fun and a look back at their younger days as fans.
