Event Review
Heart Attack Kids – Sneaky Dees, Toronto – April 8, 2016
By Cole Brocksom
When you’re as versatile and plain goddamn LOUD as Nathan Stock and Jared Ellul of Heart Attack Kids, you don’t need more than two members. There are few other words I can think of to describe the London, Ontario-based garage punk duo’s sound other than relentless, unpredictable, and straight up raunchy rock that many bands twice their size couldn’t achieve. About halfway through their set, I felt a noticeable shift wherein I was no longer hearing with just my ears, but with my whole body.
HAK are releasing their debut full-length No Future via Underground Operations (best known for incubating amazing bands like Protest the Hero, Abandon All Ships, Hostage Life, and Diemonds) and kicking off a release tour on May 6, 2016 at Handlebar in Toronto (CMW showcase) followed by a hometown release show at Call The Office in London.
Check out the video for No Future‘s first single “Deaf Dogs” below, which premiered via Exclaim! Magazine last month:
