My lovely girlfriend Bessie turned me on to The Heartless Bastards soon after we began dating. I became immediately enchanted with the band...as well as her. Lead singer Erika Wennerstrom sings with a haunting grit that turns fairly simple lyrics into the ones that give you goosebumps. We had a chance to see them live awhile back at a small venue in Indianapolis. It could have been classified as a religious experience had it not been for Erika's pounding of domestic beer between songs. She'd lean down and take a big swig before belting out "And I find myself, In a fleeting moment, Traveling far and wide, To the great big open." Two tracks for your listening pleasure below.All This Time (this is for Bess)
Into The Open (and this is for us both)
