Review: Unsacred Hearts - Five Believers

The Unsacred Hearts‘ new digital only EP, Five Believers, extends the band’s track record of impressive releases. We’d suggest just surrendering yourself to this five track rocker, but these guys aren’t taking prisoners and this fucker’ll just mow you down where you stand.

After a masterfully executed full-length album — In Defense Of Fort Useless — that showed off the wide range of influences and capabilities of a band confidently come of age, the guys have opted to infuse their return to the shorter format with the same relentless, knock-you-on-your-ass-until-it’s-over energy of their first self-titled EP. What’s great about this most recent release is how it connects to their past — it features two covers of songs by their labelmates, Man In Gray (”Brakelights” and “Hoboken”), with whom they previously released a split 7″ EP, as well as outtakes from the Fort Useless sessions — without feeling weighted down by history. It’s simply skilled rock and roll bravado from beginning to end that will leave you wanting more.

To purchase the digital only EP, visit the Serious Business Records store. Here’s a sample mp3 to get your ass shaking:
