Boston rock trio, Heavy AmericA, a band comfortable being labelled "every genre of rock" by those who've attempted to pin them down, are back with a potent new track, 'Paper Hearts'. This description isn't just a catchy phrase aimed at the band, it's a philosophy that Michael T. Seguin, Budd Lapham, and Dan Fried truly embrace in their music. With each track, they deliver a rich, simmering rock blend cut from years of experience and a broad spectrum of influences that is uniquely their own.

Their latest offering, 'Paper Hearts', dives into the uncomfortable territory of those in power and the hidden realities behind their carefully constructed facades. The song tackles the unsavoury actions taken to achieve fame and fortune, the relentless effort to conceal the truth, and the psychological toll of living a lie.

Never ones to shy away from packing their music with political punches, it’s a track that sees Heavy AmericA at their most expressive and timely. There's a growing sense, the band suggests, that the world is starting to see through the deception, that the veil is wearing thin. The track serves as a stark reminder that often, the figures we idolise and look up to are not the genuine articles but merely carefully crafted illusions.

'Paper Hearts' kicks off with a rumbling bassline that immediately grabs your attention, quickly joined by sharp, cutting guitar work. Michael's vocals enter with an almost sneering quality, carrying a familiar bite that cuts through the mix and hits its target. A palpable sense of controlled anger simmers beneath the surface, building steadily until it erupts in the chorus with the piercing lines, "All our heroes turn out to be zeros, it seems. Paper hearts tear themselves apart, they’re empty."

'Paper Hearts' is a powerful and unflinching statement, showcasing Heavy AmericA's ability to blend compelling musicality with insightful, hard-hitting commentary. For more from the band, be sure to check their website or connect via Instagram and Facebook.
