Italy’s emo punk rock band HEARTS APART release new EP for summer fun
Hearts Apart, the Italian emo punk rock band, has recently released a new EP titled “Summer Bummer” through Epidemic Records. The six-track EP delves into themes of loss, frustration, fleeting moments of happiness, and the complexities of human relationships. It captures raw emotion, irony, and a sense of restlessness, all expressed with anthemic urgency and unfiltered sentiment.
The songs on “Summer Bummer” reflect the band’s exploration of heartbreak, the passage of time, and the messy realities of life. Rather than seeking closure, the music embraces the chaos and absurdity of existence. Themes of abandonment, longing, and self-destructive behaviors are explored, highlighting the band’s willingness to confront difficult emotions head-on.
Hearts Apart recorded the EP quickly, allowing instinct to guide their creative process. Producer Maurizio Icio Baggio helped shape the final product, capturing the raw energy of their live performances. Since their formation in 2018, Hearts Apart have channeled their anxieties about adulthood into unfiltered punk rock music. Their unconventional debut performance at a mountain refuge in a beat-up pickup truck set the tone for their high-energy, no-frills approach to music.
“Summer Bummer” continues to embody their ethos, showcasing their growth while staying true to the emotional core of their earlier work. With upcoming shows in Italy and Germany, Hearts Apart remain committed to sharing their music with audiences around the world. The EP encapsulates a range of emotions, from despair and exhaustion to the desire for escapism and the overwhelming pressures of society.
Each track on the EP delves into different aspects of the human experience. “I Hate The Summer” captures the essence of the band’s punk rock spirit, blending themes of desperation, sadness, and irony. “Forget About Me” explores the aftermath of a breakup and the difficulty of moving on. “I Wanna Have Fun” celebrates recklessness and self-indulgence, offering a temporary escape from reality.
“Oh People” reflects on the complexities of social relationships, acknowledging the need for space and solitude at times. “You Better Let It Go” delves into the process of healing and moving on from past pain, emphasizing the importance of releasing old wounds. “Did I Mention” explores the aftermath of a sudden breakup, touching on themes of loss and longing.
Overall, “Summer Bummer” is a dynamic and introspective EP that showcases Hearts Apart’s growth as a band. The music is available digitally and as a limited-edition colored vinyl through Epidemic Records, allowing fans to experience the band’s raw and energetic sound.
