Aachen, Germany’s Heartache Radio is the first single and title track of the upcoming album from Germany’s The Bloodstrings. The song finds the punkabilly band screaming into the past: Heartache, youthful recklessness and discovering a love for music. The song is a punk rock anthem that displays the musical roots of The Bloodstrings, a classic punk ’n roll song with a little wink to one of their favorite bands, Rancid.

“The idea for “Heartache Radio” came from reminiscences of our youth. We’ve known each other for a long time, we were punk rock kids of 15. There, of course, every heartbreak, every street conflict was a huge topic. Back then we found our feelings in music.”

On their musically and lyrically extremely diverse full-length, the foursome presents itself from a new side: instead of zombies and demons, there are political, socially critical, anti-sexist themes. The demons still exist, but they live in us, our society and our spirits and attitudes. But it also covers themes long explored by the band such as love, depression, alcohol and the desire to break out. Heartache Radio was produced by Donots at Heavy Kranich Studio in Münster and will be released in June via Dackelton Records, The Bloodstrings will also be playing Manchester Punk Festival and this Summer’s SBÄM Fest in Linz, Austria
