If you enjoyed Blondfire‘s Where The Kids Are EP as much as I did last year or the title track inspired you to go out and buy a Honda Civic, then you’re probably as happy as I am that their full length record (featuring the entirety of the EP) is finally here! If you didn’t spend any time with more than just the EP’s title track, then I’m almost envious of you because you get to enjoy all of Young Heart as brand new. Aside from the EP tracks and the titular single, which comprise the first 5 track of the album, some highlights to consider for your shows are “Dear In Your Headlights,” “Wild and Wasted,” “We Are One,” and “Life of The Party.”
For those who don’t know much about Blondfire, it’s the project of brother-sister duo Bruce and Erica Driscoll, who grew up in Grand Rapids, Michigan, but were inspired just as much by the music from their mother’s native country Brazil, where they spent a lot of time. Find out more about that and hear songs recorded live at MilkBoy in Philadelphia for our very first SubModern Session, available for you to download and play on your show HERE, or embed this Soundcloud player onto your website:
If you liked what you just heard, hopefully you can experience it live as Blondfire is just wrapping up a tour with Royal Teeth and heading out again with The Sounds in March and April. Get tour dates and more info at Blondfire.com.
