Heartless Bastards are an American garage rock band formed in Cincinnati, Ohio in 2003. They are often compared to fellow Ohioans The Black Keys. The band has so far released five albums.
History
Heartless Bastards originally formed as a four-piece band with members Erika Wennerstrom on vocals, piano and guitar, Dave Colvin on drums, Adam McAllister on bass and Michael Weinel on lead guitar. They played their first live show at The Comet, a bar in the Cincinnati community of Northside, in August 2003. After parting ways with Colvin, McAllister and Weinel, Wennerstrom reformed the group as a three piece with Kevin Vaughn on drums and Mike Lamping on bass. The band was signed to Fat Possum Records in 2004 after Patrick Carney from The Black Keys passed along a demo he received from Erika. The 5-song demo was recorded in December 2002 at Ultrasuede Studios by Shannon McGee and featured Colvin on drums, along with contributions from Reuben Glaser on lead guitar and Jesse Ebaugh on bass.

Heartless Bastards in Studio 1A 4.15.22
Set list:
“A Beautiful Life”
“River”
“You Never Know”
On "A Beautiful Life," the first Heartless Bastards album since 2015’s Restless Ones, frontwoman Erika Wennerstrom takes listeners on a journey of self-discovery. The album opener and first single, “Revolution,” serves as a clarion call to unshackle yourself from capitalism’s golden handcuffs and to look inward for true happiness. This all might sound cliche if it weren’t so beautifully done. Wennerstrom’s unmistakable voice is a siren call of salvation riding waves of delicately layered psych rock. It’s a winning combo that carries the album from start to finish and urges fans to look, listen, and feel more.
The band is currently on tour in support of A Beautiful Life and stopped by Studio 1A during a recent two night stand at Antone...

The band is currently on tour in support of A Beautiful Life and stopped by Studio 1A during a recent two night stand at Antone’s.

They kicked off with the title track “A Beautiful Life,” a perfect example of the laid back, thoughtfully crafted rock ‘n’ roll that defines the new music. Shimmering guitar swelling into revelatory vocal crescendos reminding us “It’s a beautiful life, It’s a beautiful life if you let it be.”
