The Exploding Hearts started in Portland, Oregon, in 2001. They mixed punk, power pop, and garage rock. The Ramones and other punk bands from the 1970s inspired frontman Adam Cox, guitarist Terry Six, bassist Matt Harper, and drummer Hunter Weeks. Their 2002 EP Shattered Lines got them a lot of attention at first. Then, they played at local venues like Satyricon, where their high-energy, infectious performances showed off their youthful energy and retro-inspired riffs.
Guitar Romantic, their full-length album from 2003, got a lot of good reviews, and the songs "I'm a Pretender" and "Your Shadow" became indie hits. They went on tour on the West Coast and played at SXSW 2003. Their live shows were very popular. After a tragic accident in 2003, they became famous, and music critics praised their impact on the punk revival of the early 2000s and the way their catchy, guitar-driven sound inspired bands all over the world.
The Exploding Hearts' music is still popular thanks to tribute tours and re-releases, even though the original members are no longer active. Performances include classic hits and guest musicians who pay tribute to their legacy. Fans love the high-energy shows that happen in Portland, Seattle, and London.
