Italian punks Hearts Apart drops another heart breaking single today, the power pop anthem ‘Lonely Days’.

It’s a mid-tempo, poppy but pretty epic power pop gem that makes you want to be at show, pointing your finger to the ceiling, singing along with friends. Hearts Apart formed on last year. The idea came from a trio of friends, when attending a festival on the shores of Garda Lake, in Italy. Their intent was to create a band that could channel all the teenage distress of being close to forty, through punk rock and rock and roll. Immediately after the first lockdown, Hearts Apart went to the studio with producer and engineer Brown Barcella (Bee Bee Sea) to record these first EP. These tracks have been mastered by Maurizio Baggio (The Soft Moon, Boy Harsher). While Hearts Apart is a very young project, its members are very well known veterans from the italian punk scene, coming from bands such as Miss Chain & The Broken Heels, Universal Sex Arena, Il Buio and Phill Reynolds. ‘Lonely Days’ has been recorded and mixed by Brown Barcella (Bee Bee Sea, The Peawees) at TUP Studio in Brescia and mastered by Maurizio Baggio (Soft Moon, Boy Harsher) at La Distilleria Produzioni in Bassano del Grappa.

As the band explains, “this time of lockdowns and social distancing is a harsh moment for relationships. The void around amplifies fears and doubts usually vanished through hugs, hours of skin on skin, laughs, thoughts shared face to face. Love is not made to be lived far away from its light. It’s so easy then to fall apart and to smoke the pain away chugging to sleep. But when a spark of unity glimmers again, here we are, we feel better. That’s why in this song the only backing vocals repeat that line: “I know I’m feeling better”, when together”.
