Dead Hearts

Produced in 2004, and already courted by indie brands shortly thereafter, Deceased Hearts is really a hardcore group from Buffalo, NY, offering vocalist Derek Dole, guitarists Pauly Concern and Jeremy Smith (ex-the Control), bassist Tom Mayer, and drummer Josh Heatley (ex-the Pavers). Possessors of the distinctly melodic and slower-paced songwriting design because of their genre, the music group warmed up because of their well-received full-length debut — 2006’s Ferret Records-backed Bitter Verses — using a 2005 EP called No Appreciate No Wish, released through Reflections Information.
