Album Spotlight: Young Heart Attack

April 30th, 2008
Mouthful of Love

It is hard to decipher exactly how this group agreed on a moniker for their music. These outrageously reckless rockers, hailing from the Lone Star State, spew out a sound so furiously intense, intelligent and in-your-face fun, the name Young Heart Attack may have stemmed from the music's inherent ability to bowl you over with its beat, sending a young soul into a premature heart attack.

Or it could be that, in order to avoid a stroke at age seventeen, you should listen to Mouthful of Love at least once a day, every day, for the rest of your life.

A huge dose of invasive hard rock, vivacious vocals and extreme vamping is enough to keep anyone feeling fresh, juvenile and able to jam until the wee hours of the morning. Young Heart Attack radiate riffs reminiscent of the mighty music that sent the Ramones, KISS, Judas Priest and other definitive demonstrations of musical dexterity sailing to the top of the charts.

Adding to their twist of glam-meets-heavy metal, of the five figures behind YHA is a femme fatale, Jennifer Stephens -- who possesses the vocal prowess and brazen sassiness of all of The Donnas combined.

Take the title track, Play Button Mouthful Of Love , for example. Jam-packed with wild (sometimes naughty) words and fierce fingering of electric guitars, this number demands robust dance moves, head-banging, clothes-shedding and a raging, rocking good time.

While some songs have a softer side (see Play Button Starlite 's "I'm in love, I'm alive, I'm in love, I'm alive, Starlite, baby burn so bright and Play Button (Take Me Back) Mary Jane 's "Now take me back Mary Jane, don't you leave me standing alone in the rain"), they never falter when it comes to ferociously groovy riffs and enormous amounts of energy.

No matter the theme of the track, the tempo remains juicy, jazzy and fast, all the way up to the last tune, Play Button Misty Rowe . In fact, the record on a whole is far from seizure-inducing -- it's completely rejuvenating.
