Notes

On Heartless Bastards new record, Arrow, the eccentric, hypnotic nature of
songwriter Erika Wennerstrom's voice is captured by producer Jim Eno (Spoon)
who helps blend the bands driving, straight-forward Rock 'N' Roll into a
record that sounds unique and refreshing. Arrow instantly feels fearless and
marks a major step forward for a band who continues develop with every
release. Thanks to support from the likes of David Letterman, NPR, and a
cameo appearance in the hit NBC show Friday Night Lights, Heartless Bastards
show no sign of slowing down. Their past three albums have consecutive
increases in sales from 20K(Stairs and Elevators) to 30K(All This Time) to
40K (The Mountain). Early press feedback has been unanimously positive, the
most common response is that of Arrow being the Heartless Bastards
career-defining record. Perhaps most exciting are the early indicators at
radio, with WXPN, KCRW, WFPK, WFUV, KUT, and KXT already adding the record
to their rotation

The Heartless Bastards’ story starts in Dayton, Ohio, where Wennerstrom found the name on a multiple choice video trivia game at a bar.

As a songwriting teenager during a time when Guided By Voices and Brainiac were packing local bars and three of The Breeders were still in town, Wennerstrom used to sneak into clubs to check out the scene. “I would just see those people—my music heroes—hanging out at the bar like everyone else,” she remembers. “I could see myself in them. It gave me inspiration to do my own thing.”

After doing the usual business of playing local shows, the trio set out the following year on a regional tour. One of the first gigs of the trip took them to a bar in Akron, where The Black Keys’ drummer Patrick Carney just happened to be one of only a handful of people in the audience. This chance encounter led Wennerstrom and the Heartless Bastards to Fat Possum Records, with whom they released their debut, Stairs and Elevators, in early 2005.

The band moved on with critical praise in their back pocket, including a four-and-a-half star review from Rolling Stone, which took note that, when Wennerstrom “opens her throat on Stairs and Elevators … she sounds like she’s wailing on the shoulders of giants; her sad and angry vocals channeling all the swagger and spit of a young Robert Plant”

By whatever yardstick you care to measure, it was high time for Erika to get out of Dayton.
