Heartless Bastards release The Mountain, offer free single

Rock 'n' rollers Heartless Bastards released their third album "The Mountain" yesterday, February 3rd, through Fat Possum records. Led by singer/guitarist Erika Wennerstrom, the trio have already gained quite a bit of praise for their raw guitar/bass/drum assault which they accent with touches of banjo and violin for a great western rock sound.

The band is offering the first single and title track from the album for free, which you can get here below. It's an exciting start to what sounds like a solid record and I'll be telling you more about it soon, so stay tuned.
