    Biography

    Heartsounds combine the precision of their metal roots with the melody and speed of punk rock to offer their take on the ‘80s and ‘90s bands they grew up listening to. Founding members and guitarist/singers Laura Nichol and Ben Murray formed Heartsounds in San Francisco in 2009 after the breakup of their previous project, death metal band Light This City, feeling burned out from the intensity of playing such heavy music and wanting to return to their roots. They caught the ear of Brett Gurewitz, whose Epitaph record label was home to bands they admired like Hot Water Music and Gurewitz’s own Bad Religion, and were signed the following year. Full-length debut Until We Surrender followed soon after, introducing listeners to their catchy, earnest delivery and Nichol and Murray’s contrasting call-and-response vocals. They returned in 2011 with the addition of two new members, bassist Kyle Camarillo and drummer Trey Derbes, to offer sophomore album Drifter, a more mature and technical effort showing the bandmembers’ growth as vocal and musical arrangers. ~ Chrysta Cherrie, Rovi
