Rusted Hearts Talks of Transitioning from One Way to Another!

 


Post hardcore band RUSTED HEARTS had known one another when the band had formed, but since then, they have gone on to write and record, what would be 3 EP's and one full-length to date! Newer music is in the works as well, expected to be released soon. They have been actively playing live around their area and want to head out further, expanding their horizons, hoping to tour one day! The band talks of all of this below.

 

1. Where did you get the idea for the band name, you planned it or came out just like that? 

I actually got the band name Idea brainstorming with my girlfriend. We kept picking out words we like and she came up with Rusted Hearts as we're kind of in the Rust Belt and we make emo music so we kind of wear our hearts on our sleeve.

2. Why did you want to play this genre?

All of us in the band have been a big fans of bands like My Chemical Romance, The Used, and Armor For Sleep so it just felt like a no brainer to make music like them.

3. Did you know each other before the band was formed?

We did, I (Pat) knew our Drummer (Nate) from recording his first band back in the 2010s. I knew our guitarist (Kevin) from being in the scene and having pretty similar music tastes. Our bass player (Christian) and I were in a band together before this one where we met.

4. Where is the band based out of and what is your music scene like there? Are there any local bands you could recommend?

We're Based out of Cleveland Ohio, and our music scene here is thriving for sure. We often play with bands here like Mud Whale, Lemonbar, Wig Doubt, This Summer (rip), but also some older bands like Runaway Brother, Light Years, and Signals Midwest.

5. Who or what inspires you to write songs?

The Biggest inspiration for me is experience/the human condition. I sing a lot about stuff like that.

6. What are your songs about? (What specific themes do they cover?)

A lot of our songs focus on Death or Past relationships. mainly focusing on the unknown or the what if of it all.

7. Do you write your own songs? (Discuss the songwriting process in detail.)

We do, typically we focus on instrumentals first then come up with lyrics after.

8. What have you released so far and what can someone expect from your works?

We have 3 EPs and 1 LP out currently. You could expect to hear a transition from being a bit more of a pop-punk focused group to something with a bit more of an Alternative/Emo edge.

9. Do you have any new music in the works?

We are currently sitting on about 3 new songs looking for homes.

10. How about playing shows and touring, have anything planned out?

Yes, we play somewhat often in Cleveland and we're going to be branching out a lot more in 2025 to the surrounding areas.

11. What plans do you have for the future as a band?

We want to focus on getting new songs together and collaborating with other artists/songwriters. We also are putting a big emphasis on touring,

12. Where can we listen to your band and where can we buy your stuff?

We are on Spotify, Apple Music, Tidal, and Bandcamp, as well as anywhere else you listen to your music. We have a shopify that is pretty accessible through our Spotify page but can also be accessed HERE.
