WE REVIEWED THE NEW ALBUM
I like my boundary pushing, confrontational rock as much as the next person, and when I want emotion in my music, loud and proud is exactly the way I prefer it. Robin Davey is a superb guitarist who has a way of emoting a blues/garage/rock dialectic that speaks as voluminously as the blistering vocal presence of Greta Valenti. The combination of the two is really unprecedented, and I say this because I can't offer a single comparison that perfectly fits. There are similar artists, but Well Hung Heart is really unique in as far as what they are doing with this album.
And it works, because anything more diverse would actually seem vulgar and out of place. The age of experimentation in the recording studio has thankfully come to an end, and it is with great enthusiasm that we welcome bands like Well Hung Heart that lead with howling, thunderous guitars and elegiac, sexy vocals. Young Enough To Know It All is bitingly succinct, a sensory workout in the best possible way that offers both classic and modern sensibilities.

OH....MORE THAN JUST GREAT MUSIC
Robin & Greta also own a Creative Studio & Production Company called GROWvision. They recently launched a web-series entitled Made In 48,a series hosted by their band, Well Hung Heart and their guests. The challenge? They must write & record a new song, and then conceptualize, film, edit and release a corresponding video – all within 48 hours!
Additionally they produced last season's episodes of Live From Daryl's House starring Daryl Hall.
Furthermore, they have an online arts & culture magazine that they publish and edit called Skindie and they produce commercial and music videos as well as documentaries.
Still, it's their music that has us raging and banging........
THAT BOOM!
The pilot episode of their series Made In 48 featured Gram Rabbit. The collaboration was named the Crazy X's and they put out a genuinely good song called Boom! And the show takes you through the entire process, which basically started with a riff by Jesika Von Rabbit of Gram Rabbit. The whole thing coalesced quite well, and in fact, you can watch the entire premier episode on YouTube.
Here's the link to watch the entire episode: http://youtube.com/watch?v=MAoGDEQnb-g OR if you just want to watch the final edit of the song Boom! go here: http://youtube.com/watch?v=WjKTk6w_fPw

BAND BIO
There is no mistaking the bluesy undercurrent that forms the bedrock of Well Hung Heart's raw and uncompromising Rock sound. British born guitarist Robin Davey cut his teeth with the Blues elite, jamming onstage with the likes of Buddy Guy and recording with Mick Jagger. Davey quickly secured a place as the youngest ever inductee into the British Blues Hall Of Fame, and has built a reputation as an eclectic and cutting edge musical mind.
Singer Greta Valenti grew up amongst the deep-rooted musical traditions of New Orleans. Though the two's early years were spent on opposite sides of the Atlantic, they have both found common ground in their passion for the raw honesty of music, delivered in its most unprocessed and unrestricted form.
With a dose of Hendrix, and a nod to PJ Harvey, Well Hung Heart is just as comfortable channeling Nirvana as they are Leadbelly or Led Zeppelin.
Well Hung Heart record just as they play live - stripped down to the core, void of multiple takes and studio trickery. Well Hung Heart finished off their first year in existence with high profile shows both sides of the Atlantic. Appearing at London's prestigious O2 Academy, and the Make Music Festival in Pasadena, opening for Grimes, Grouplove and Cults.
Well Hung Heart acknowledge that though their influences might stem from the roots, their approach to finding an audience is very much in the present. With a series of self-directed Youtube videos establishing the band's presence, Well Hung Heart have managed to build a burgeoning fan base, both with their blistering live performances, and their creativity in the digital age.
