Revelation 1:1

Hello, my name is Frankie and I'm the singer/guitar player for The Dirty Hearts. I'm going to be one of the people who will be filling you in with all things regarding the band as well other topics we feel the need to share with you. As some of you may know we are based in Austin, TX and I suppose should be classified under "rock". We like to think of ourselves as a rock-n-roll band but have been called punk, cow punk, post punk, garage, new wave and pop. We really don't mind any of these labels as most our our favorite bands come from these genres. Oh, I guess that would be my cue to name a few. Speaking for myself, I would name PJ Harvey, The Pixies, Sonic Youth and X. I could go on and but since music will be one of the major topics in our blog I'm sure I'll name several others in time.

Regarding my band, we are gearing up for the release of our latest album "Pigs". In the next few days I'll be updating the blog with some of the early reviews for the LP. Also, just over a week ago we released our new video for the album opener "Record Store". Check it out at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9Zo9JWpS5A0 until I we post it here.


While writing this first entry, I got summoned away to rescue a baby bird in the back yard. I caught the little guy/girl for fear that my neighbors dog would feast on him/her. I put the chick in a box high on a tree to see if the mother will feed it until it can fly. Anyway, this may be symbolic of our blog. Let's hope it flys!
