Description
Released in 2015, Restless Ones marks the first time the Heartless Bastards have had the same lineup for two albums in a row since All This Time in 2006, and the bandmembers certainly sound more comfortable and at ease with themselves than they have in a while. Lead singer, songwriter, and guitarist Erika Wennerstrom still sings like a powerhouse as she muses about making sense of life’s rare peaks and many valleys, but this time she sounds more in sync with her bandmates — Mark Nathan on guitar, Jesse Ebaugh on bass, and David Colvin on drums — and this music has a raw immediacy the Bastards haven’t matched since their first two albums.
