The Unsacred Hearts don’t play many shows these days — something we hear may thankfully change come the fall. But when they do, they put everything into it, which is why we’ve long found them to be among the most entertaining bands in the city. Their show on Friday night at The Delancey was a [...]

Okay, now that CMJ is good and over, let’s take a look back at a few highlights.
Of course, Saturday night was the StereoactiveNYC/Hot Rocks Party Official CMJ Showcase, co-sponsored by DigitalFreedom.org. In case you missed our wrap-ups, here they are:
PART ONE: Chop Shop, The Secret Life Of Sofia, Gold Streets
PART TWO: Mancino, Man In Gray, [...]

A couple of weeks ago we pointed out that the Unsacred Hearts were playing a now-unfortunately-rare live show. It was the one year anniversary party for Ruined Music and it was great to see the Hearts back on stage. Here’s a video from that night of “Point Of Pride,” the first track off In Defense [...]

We would like to point out that this week marks the return of two great bands that haven’t played live in quite some time. And both are playing really great shows. The Unsacred Hearts haven’t played live since the Serious Business Records CMJ Showcase back in early November and we happen to know that it’s [...]

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 — [...]

We’re finally recovered enough from Tuesday night’s party to take a look back at all the fun we had. It was a great night, with great music from all the bands and we’d like to thank the whole Beg Yr Pardon crew for letting us in on the fun in such a big [...]

Former Unsacred Hearts bassist and forever ongoing Secret Dakota Ring alter-ego, Andy Ross, has been busy training for the as yet non-existent Indie Pop Olympics with his current band, OK Go. The video for “Here It Goes Again” features the band (Andy’s the one wearing the jacket), with endurance levels set to “high,” dancing on [...]

The Covalent Bond likes the Unsacred Hearts‘ recently released album, In Defense Of Fort Useless:
I just finished listening to The Unsacred Hearts debut full-length album, In Defense of Fort Useless. Wow! This is one hell of an album. Their music is an excellent blend of influences from Lou Reed and The Velvet Underground, The Rolling [...]
