THE EMPTY HEARTS are:

Elliot Easton  |  Clem Burke  |  Wally Palmar  |  Andy Babiuk

The Empty Hearts - four rock n' roll lifers - are proud to announce the aptly titled, 'The Second Album', which arrives on August 28 via Little Steven’s Wicked Cool Records.

“We wanted to make an album like the ones that really captured our imaginations when we were coming up,” says Elliot Easton, guitarist and founding member of The Cars.  “The sort of record that, when it came out, you'd get together with a few friends, maybe get a buzz on, turn the lights down and listen from beginning to end - like those classic late '60s records that took you on a little trip.”

Easton is joined by Blondie drummer and fellow Rock & Roll Hall of Famer Clem Burke, along with hitmaker Wally Palmar of The Romantics on lead vocals and bassist Andy Babiuk of The Chesterfield Kings. One of their heroes, Ringo Starr, even plays drums on the album's song, “Remember Days Like These.” “In a way, it’s given us The Beatles’ seal of approval!” adds Clem, who backed Ringo on tambourine.

Produced by Ed Stasium (Ramones, Talking Heads) and The Empty Hearts, The Second Album, and the leap-out-of-your-speakers, first radio single, "Come On And Try It", was made in the spirit of 50s and 60's rock n' roll, the music that first inspired all four members. The album was recorded with the intent to tour worldwide, before the events of 2020 unfolded.

“The Empty Hearts have done it again!”  says label head Little Steven, who actually named the band from his secret list of unused band names.  “Could this album be any timelier?  I’m thinking NOT!"
