About In Defense of Fort Useless... "Unsacred Hearts are every inch a rock and roll band, but unlike some of their NY brethren, they refuse to get stuck on one level. They may like to party, but they've also read a book or two." -Sentamentalist "The more-than-punk Unsacred Hearts took a rather long time following up their promising debut EP; happily, the new full-length In Defense of Fort Useless was worth the wait." -Village Voice "Perfectly dirty, bad attitude purveying, classically inspired garage rock. I like IDoFU because, if the band at all resembles their music in person, I would want to hang out with them. In fact, they sound much cooler than any band I've never heard of has the right to sound." -The Philler "EDITOR'S PICK...their best to date."-Smother "Yeah, Unsacred Hearts rock. They will have you up all night lamenting to your whiskey-soaked soul your hearts desires. That is what sets this NYC band apart. That word, soul. As much as they channel The Clash and GBV, there is also an underlying Dylan and some gut-wrenching blues fighting to get out." --Your Standard Life Praise for the UNSACRED HEARTS and their s/t EP "It's a raw, dark, sexy and dangerous celebration of rock'n'roll." -Punk Planet "FOUR STARS...New York City garage-punks deeply in love with their late 70s forbearers. Unsacred Hearts' debut has more character, range and potential than most. A strong first effort if there ever was one. The #3 EP of 2004" -PunkNews.org "FOUR STARS...recommended without reservations." -All Music Guide "The Unsacreds excel at punchy rhythms and jittery riffage." -The Village Voice It is inevitable. When you rock like Iggy and howl like Black Francis you're bound to take something over. Being ballsy is one thing, but being ballsy and all balls-in is completely different. The Unsacred Hearts are just that...It's American rock with American heart. -When Apes Rule the Earth "This seven-song, self-titled CD has some sharp claws. It's a great rock album in the spirit of old NYC." -Coolfer.com "I can honestly say that listening to the Unsacred Hearts EP makes me shiver a little bit...loud, catchy, good rock music you don't have to be pretentious about." -Combustication.net "Soulfully piledriving blues punk seen through the eyes of some drugged out southern cowboy." -Smother.net "Really rockin, feel-good dance-punk." -Read Mag "The Unsacred Hearts play gritty, noisy rock nuggets." -Time Out New York "The Unsacred Hearts transcend the hipster movement by replacing posturing with passion...Stellar songwriting." -The Houston Music Review "That album rocked hard enough to put balls on my grandmother." -Oliver Anderson, Music Director 89.3 KUGS FM, Bellingham,WA "Sounds that you could danceably have seizures to, lyrics that are straight forward and honest and a rhythm guitar that makes you blow your load instantaneously." -Do It Fierce "Gritty energy [and] heavenly bruised melodies" -Indieville.com "When it comes to rock and roll, the Unsacred Hearts have an excellent understanding of what its all about." -FeelThePunk "Highly danceable (and compact) rock and roll songs about rock and roll." -RockingTheScene "Your new favorite band." -Concert Hype "Across seven tracks they proved themselves star students of their 70s forbearers, channeling Richard Hell, the Heartbreakers and others in a collection of tightly wound garage songs about nothing more or less than the subject of rock and roll itself." -Punk News ...and THE UNSACRED HEARTS / MAN IN GRAY Split 7" "Delicious. Two songs each from two seriously wicked bands – what more is there to life? This 7" sees them playing more of their deliciously edgy garage rock, heavy on memorable riffs and solid melodies." -Indieville "The subversively clever Unsacred Hearts' stream-of-consciousness vocal delivery fits perfectly with the atomic musical backdrop, making for a listen as captivating as reading Hemingway for the first time." -Skratch Magazine "If you're actively seeking new music than I’d suggest these bands with their bizarre and quirky undercurrents. But that being said each band has a innate ability to write catchy hooks that even the most cynical rock-n-roll kid would appreciate with full-teeth smiles." -Smother "Both bands wreak considerable rock and roll havoc." -Splendid
