From Baltimore comes SWEETHEARTS and their newest offering 'EP2' on 10" lathe vinyl limited to just 20 copies via Ashtray Monument. The digitals release on July 15th, 2022 with the 10" pre-order open now, with a turnaround time of around three months. This comes around six years after their debut EP and features members of Fault/s (reviewed here), Fires, Tigerscout, and Night Moves doing an interesting mixture of both post-hardcore and screamo to the point where I'm unsure which genre tag to give it. A definite compliment for the four-piece that have found a very cool and unique style and approach.

(2022) SWEETHEARTS "Hand Model Retirement Plan" (from 'EP2')

I thought I'd premiere the opening track off of 'EP2' as it is probably a Seinfeld reference but more importantly it does a great job of encapsulating SWEETHEARTS' aura with screamed vocals and driving instrumentals not unlike a lot of newer Loma Prieta material if you sped it up and put more weight on it. The rolling bass and frantic guitar progression that opens the song is a perfect conduit for everything that follows. I love the driving guitars after the one-minute mark and the change-ups are done seamlessly. Very sick stuff.
