Editorial Reviews

New to FAT, this Philadelphia three piece came together when members from The Curse, Kid Dynamite, and Trial By Fire decided to pool their talents. Late in 2003 things clicked, and THE LOVED ONES were formed. Keep Your Heart, the follow up to their 2005 self-titled EP on Jade Tree, finds the band in full stride and firmly planted in musical greatness. Probably best described as punk rock ‘n roll, THE LOVED ONES guitar driven sound provides the perfect backdrop for front man David Hause’s melodically gruff vocals.

There seems to only be a few bands left that still give a damn about having energy and writing good punk rock. The Loved Ones are among that group, and this CD proves that punk isn't quite dead. A straightforward punk sound a la faster Social D, with loud n' scratchy vocals somewhat reminiscent of Hot Water Music (but not as low and gruff, Dave can hit notes better) or Brendan from Lawrence Arms. There are only a few songs on here I could skip over, but the entire album is a great listen. For fans of the above-mentioned bands or anything of the sort. A great pick up for when all that monotonous 4/4 tempo, clean channel "indie" music is bumming you out.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great Album, September 21, 2006

Simply put, this is a great album. I found these guys on MySpace and got the CD, and really enjoyed it. They are just straight up good old fashioned punk rock. Yet their vocals are quite good and make it fun to listen to, but also retain that punk rock urgency that is missing from so many albums. Great album for fans of just good driving punk rock.

Not much else to say, this is just a great album. If you like catchy punk rock with a raw edge, you'll love this. Impossible to pick a fave on this one.
