Young Heart Attack

Young Heart Attack hails from Austin, Texas, but the band is currently being hyped as this month’s next-big-thing in the U.K., where its single, “Tommy Shots,” is lighting up the airwaves. Musically, these leather- and denim-clad brats are clearly in awe of AC/DC’s bluesy, bad-boy boogie, but the group is also fronted by a pair of Spandex-throated boy-girl vocalists who are not remotely ashamed to get in touch with their inner Vince Neils. Granted, nearly all garage-greased rock units cite the Crüe as foundational, but the members of YHA actually sound like they grew up with Too Fast for Love in constant rotation. The group’s recently issued Mouthful of Love EP basks in these influences, and YHA is currently putting the finishing touches on a full-length debut that promises to shout at the devil. Expect heaps of stadium-ready posturing from the band and ironic, hipster headbanging from the audience.
