Childhood friends, Alex Nash, Hamish Kay and Jamie Roberts formed The Hearts last year in their hometown of Newport, South Wales.
Their distinctive gritty, yet anthemic songwriting is backed by a real sense of determination and DIY spirit. The trio shot their first music video for ‘Lips’ in a kitchen, costing a mere £50 and resulting in over 20,000 views online. The same track was the first the band uploaded to Â鶹Éç Introducing and immediately caught the attention of both Bethan Elfyn and Adam Walton at Â鶹Éç Radio Wales. Huw Stephens is also a big fan, along with a whole host of other taste makers, who are helping to raise the band’s profile.
With a highly anticipated 16 date UK tour scheduled for May, The Hearts are stepping up their fierce dedication to playing live. Big Weekend will mark a significant moment for them, as they begin to breakthrough onto the UK’s indie rock scene in a major way.
