Hailing from the land of beer, bourbon, and frustration (aka Southern Ohio) the Fat Possum recording artists, Heartless Bastards manage to effortlessly focus all of their collective spitfire into one razor-sharp edge of simple, stomp-yer-foot rock n' roll. Led by the shy and unassuming chanteuse extraordinaire, Erika Wennerstrom, and backed by a driving rhythm section, this rock trio makes one wonder what else goes on in Ohio.
