On Saturday night I went to the Wolfmother gig at the State Theater … and was pleasantly surprised by one of the opening acts – Heartless Bastards.

The quartet has an older, garage band sound with a hint of psychedelic (they are definitely channeling some sonic youth). Their heavy guitars fill the soundwaves with further vibrations from the drums to make a Southern/rock/blues combo that brought the audience to their feet.

Their new album entitled The Mountain is raw, powerful and passionate and entirely worth checking out.
