Heart & Soul Radio- Thieves
by Tim Wenger
Pop-punk never dies. It just gets older, reforms into a super-group of Warped Tour veterans, and keeps cranking out music. Heart & Soul Radio is proof of this, as the group (made up of former members of D.O.R.K. and Animo) prepares to drop their new record Thieves October 4 at the Oriental Theatre.
Front man Schuyler Ankele is almost too good of a singer to be in a punk band. His songs, eloquently transcribed over Brian Johannsen’s pop-heavy guitar lines, appear as letters. Whether to a past or future version of himself, or someone in his life, they are easily relatable. H&S takes their typical “we’re really talented and have been doing this for a long time” flair and step it up a notch- the album actually shows growth. Well played, guys. Well played.
