Young Heart Attack formed in 2001 around Austin, TX scene vets
Chris Hodge (vocals/guitar), ex-
Sixteen Deluxe'ers Chris Smith (guitar; heretofore known as Frenchie) and Steven Hall (bass), and former
Fastball drummer Joey Shuffield. Vocalist Jennifer Stephens was also tapped, as a foil to
Hodge's barely-contained yell. A round of 7"'s and frequent gigging (including exposure at South by Southwest) hooked the
Heart Attack up with a deal on XL, and soon the Texans were rocking European crowds alongside kindred throwbacks like
the Darkness and
the Datsuns. The "Misty Rowe" single appeared in autumn 2003, and was followed by more U.K. dates; the full-length XL debut
Mouthful of Love dropped domestically in May 2004. ~ Johnny Loftus
