Though they all reside in Brooklyn, the members of indie-pop band HAERTS originally hail from parts of Germany, England, and the Northeast. Since coming together, they’ve embarked on quite a whirlwind journey. They’ve toured the world and released the excellent Hemiplegia EP, which earned them a contract with Columbia Records.
