The Empty Hearts are four guys with impressive musical résumés who’ve joined together to play music they love — simple, straightforward, but soulful rock & roll informed by ’60s garage rock and British Invasion sounds. The Empty Hearts feature Wally Palmar of the Romantics on lead vocals, rhythm guitar, and harmonica; Elliot Easton of the Cars on lead guitar and vocals; Andy Babiuk of the Chesterfield Kings on bass and vocals; and Clem Burke of Blondie on drums and vocals. The Empty Hearts is a rocking record that contains a dozen tracks produced by Ed Stasium (The Ramones, Living Colour, etc.)
There are no big egos dominating the disc; rather, it’s just four guys who are playing new songs inspired by old bands — the bands that made them want to get into rock and roll in the first place. And rock and roll they do!, Plus the name was given to them by Steve Van Zandt.
