Remember Richmond, Virginia’s The Green Hearts? In 2022 we wrote about their Oh Heidi +3 EP, and after a live album they now return with +14. Mark Golden, Paul Ginder, Steve Dingus, Doyle Hull, and Brian Collins deliver a self-titled full-length that’s all heart, hooks, and volume. Across the energetic songs, the band tears through crunchy riffs and sugar-rush choruses with ragged charm and zero fuss. There’s grit under the gloss, sharp humor in the lyrics, and a bar-band swagger that keeps things refreshingly unpolished. Think punchy power pop with a punk streak, immediate, melodic, and built for repeat spins. A no-frills, turn-it-up, fun kind of record.

The Green Hearts’ eponymous album is out now digitally via Slaxitone.
