Brit-Country rockers The Heartland Roots Band have been enjoying a busy last three years, bagging awards for Group Of The Year 2021 in both The UK Country Music Awards, and ARC Radio Music Awards, as well as twelve chart singles including the number 1 smash ‘Bullet From A Gun’ which blew a hole through the iTunes Chart in November!
The group has spent the majority of the last few years tirelessly rocking the mainstream circuit of pubs and small festivals, packing in the crowds for whom Country music is either an undiscovered delight, or a guilty pleasure.
They take influences from traditional and modern country, Americana blues and rock, and create a sound which is truly unique in the British music scene, and they have shown the diversity of their work by charting in the Contemporary Country, Blues, and Rock, as well the Pop charts.
The band specialise in big harmonies, anthemic sing-alongs, blistering guitars, crackling keyboards, and rock-tight rhythms.
From August 2019, the band began releasing singles every three months, beginning with ‘Breaking Away’ and ‘Gasoline’ later that year, then ‘Hit Me Like A Freight Train’, ‘Country Miles’, and ‘Christmas in Paris’ through 2020, before ‘Two Feet Off The Ground’, ‘This Is Who I Am’, ‘Feeling Lucky Tonight’, and ‘Bullet From A Gun’ in 2021. In 2022, the singles kept coming with ‘Yell!’ and then ‘All That Glitters’.
Each of the twelve singles were released with an accompanying video, which further demonstrated the band’s commitment, not just to entertain but, to show the world the musicianship, passion, creativity, and sense of fun and togetherness that anyone who goes to a live show will recognise immediately.
The success of the band across streaming platforms (approaching two million Spotify streams), has led to independent radio stations worldwide playing their music on a daily basis, and the band’s online fan group on Facebook boasting membership from every continent on the planet.
In late October 2021, the band took to the studio to begin the nine-month-long process of recording the ‘Something Better’ album, which is due for release in July 2022.
The collection of songs chosen for the project were all written during or reflecting on the lockdown periods of the last three years, as well as delving into the political turmoil and social and moral issues arising from these times, as well as personal tragedies and tensions.
Notwithstanding the album release, 2022 looks like being the busiest year to date with festivals and other live appearances throughout the summer and autumn.
The Heartland Roots Band's blissful live show is truly a thing to behold, and surely will be coming to a venue near you soon. Watch this space!
