Savage Hearts release new single
The Savage Hearts hav released their new single, 'Silver Locket'.
This is his band's third single. It was formed in 2022 by Evan Walsh, ex-drummer to Irish rock 'n’ roll starlets The Strypes who toured the world both as a support act for Arctic Monkeys, Liam Gallagher, and Blur.
The band released its debut single, the thuggish bruiser-boogie 'Gang War' in February, followed up by mile-a-minute deathtrap 'Speeding Bullets' hitting the mark in July.
Both tracks shot to No. 1 on the Irish Downloads chart and sold out their vinyl runs on Galway-based indie label Blowtorch Records.
In swapping his drums for bass guitar and vocals duties, Evan teamed up with friends and collaborators Darragh Muldoon (lead guitar/lead vocals) Eugenio Collinassi (tenor saxophone) Luke Cassidy (drums) and occasional collaborators sister Becky Walsh (vocals) and fellow Cavan man Terry Brady (harmonica/keyboards).
The Savage Hearts have also spent the last 18 months making a strong dent in the UK and Irish gigging scene with high profile support slots including shows with The Boomtown Rats at Cavan Calling and The Undertones (December 6, Cavan Townhall).
The band has also landed slots at festivals such as Electric Picnic and Sea Sessions, at Gaz’s Rockin’ Blues Club Soho in London and the Dublin Castle, Camden.
