If there was one silver lining in the break-up of Dear Tonight earlier this year, it was that Young Hearts has finally been able to step out of the shadows. Young Hearts, which had been relegated as a side project for the most part, has moved to the forefront for the members who shared their time between the two bands. Don’t let that connection fool you too much though. Sonically, Dear Tonight and Young Hearts are occupying different ends of the spectrum. Dear Tonight blasted you with lyrically relevant post-hardcore while Young Hearts blaze the pop/punk path with reckless abandon. But one thing the two bands do share is their undying passion and sincerity. You can feel it brimming from Young Hearts’ The Fight EP much in the same way it bled out from Dear Tonight’s songs. Young Hearts share a lot of similarities with Broadway Calls as well. You can tell the bands were both reared on hardcore but are now making their marks in the pop/punk ranks. The hardcore sensibility of the Young Heart’s earlier tastes/endeavors shines right through. Young Hearts certainly live up to their moniker here. The raw energy these four songs are able to convey makes The Fight EP a definite winner and one that promises a great deal for the future of the band as well as pop/punk in general.
