Based out of the snowy, upper Midwest, hard-hitting, faith-based post-hardcore quintet
These Hearts blend the pulverizing rush of metalcore with the confectionary mellifluousness of pop-punk, bringing to mind contemporaries like
Taking Back Sunday,
Chunk! No, Captain Chunk!, and
A Day to Remember. Formed in 2007 in Fargo, North Dakota around the talents of
Ryan Saunders (vocals), Isaiah Folk (drums),
Kyle Colby (guitar/vocals), Daryl Van Beek (guitar), and
Tyler Rice (bass), the band self-released their debut EP, Mistakes & Second Takes, in 2008 before inking a deal with Victory Records, who issued their full-length debut,
Forever Ended Yesterday, in 2011 and its dynamic follow-up,
Yours to Take, in 2013. ~ James Christopher Monger
