The Exploding Hearts

One of the greatest bands of all time. Literal perfection.

best band

RIP King Louie

<3

R.I.P.

should have listened to your mama, she always said I was a creeP

10 years ago today. RIP.

Forever my favorite band.

God I keep going back and listening to Guitar Romantic and it blows me away every time. It may just seem like silly/fun pop punk revival at surface (which it largely is) but there are some really touching moments as well. The lyrics to throwaway style are basically poetry. Fucking geniuses and I miss them.

no, i think they were very influential. they supplied a genre of music (rock and indie) with a much-needed shot of youthful sincerity and a devil-may-care attitude that was being slowly replaced by a jaded, hipstery state of mind, and still is. we need another band like the exploding hearts to shake things up again

lol

fuck you badname

"So many bands these days take obvious influence from these dudes and I'm glad they're carrying the torch. Biters are a good example of this." or is it that they are still taking influence from The Clash, The Buzzcocks, The Undertones and so on..... while I like this band, can not help but think they are anything but original. It is good fun music, for what it is, it is a good release. But not one I would ever call original or refreshing.

good one

So many bands these days take obvious influence from these dudes and I'm glad they're carrying the torch. [artist]Biters[/artist] are a good example of this.

This is one of the saddest band stories I have ever read.

rip

nothing like exploding hearts in the morning

if you guys like the exploding hearts you might like my band... they are dear to our hearts

best rock n' roll band of the 2000s hands down

They were soo great.Too bad what happened to them :( RIP

love this band

I'm a pretender at the game of love....<3

What a tragic band story.[2]

What a tragic band story.

"Three of the band's members died in a car accident in 2003, after which no attempt was made to continue using the band name in any capacity. " :c

Heard these guys bailed on Weasel Fest. Lame.

come to the east coast

criminally underrated

Such a goddamn shame. They really had something.

I'm just a jailbird for your love <3

merch?

↓read the bio, 3 of the band members were killed in a car accident, they can't play any more :|

these guys need to play the east coast

still feelin' a bit sad when I listen to their record.

how do these guys not have over 1 million plays?

Had this record just sitting around, unlistened to, for the last 5 years. That was a crime.

tragically ironic end to the band, given how innocent and carefree their music was. catchy as hell.

Can't believe what happened to these guys...RIP.

You're black and blue ♥

True. All their songs bring a tear to my eye. This band reminds me not to take life for granted.

in context to what became of these gentlemen, the lyrics to i'm a pretender can almost make you shed a tear.

great stuff
