ABOUT THE VIOLENT HEARTS
Born from the smouldering embers of celebrated British punks ​Sharks​, ​The Violent Hearts put a distinctive spin on the classic punk influences that formed their musical DNA. Surfing a wave of thundering drums, rumbling basslines and stabs of stormy guitar all unpinned by intoxicatingly rich vocals, The Violent Hearts post-punk groove swings with such confident swagger, you would think the band were seasoned veterans, not relative newcomers. 

Stripping everything back to a minimalist core, the band capture a sound the evokes an era where The Clash, The Jam and the Buzzcocks reigned supreme. However, while casting a nostalgic, romanticised look backwards, The Violent Hearts have their eyes forward as they prepare to release their long awaited debut album.

After releasing the twin tracks of Porcelain World and Hex On Me in early 2020 which saw them earn praise from ​New Noise Magazine​, ​PopMatters, ​and DyingScene, the band quickly solidified their live reputation supporting everyone’s favourite satanic doo-wop band, ​Twin Temple​. Then like the rest of the world, their plans were put on hold when the pandemic came to town.

During the subsequent months, the band, made up of former ​Sharks frontman James Mattock, bassist Carl Murrihy and ​The Computers sticksman Aidan Sinclair, have found a home via Australian based record label, Dinner For Wolves, (The Screaming Jets, Ekko Park, Electric Mary) who released the single Terminal in January and Anxiety in May.

Mattock says of the signing “We’re pleased to announce that we’ll be teaming up with the good people at DFW moving forward with future releases. Finally, our record will see the light of day, and there’s plenty more where that came from. Onwards.”

With their critically acclaimed 3rd album “Unlocked & reloaded” in 2020 the “new” line-up proved to be the strongest and most creative incarnation of the band yet.

Powerful, blues & soul-soaked vocals, virtuoso guitar & ham-mond duels, groovy & pumping rhythm section. All presented to you with a rockin‘ package of diversity and musicality emphazised by the individual styles of the band members.

EMPLOYED TO SERVE Release Official Music Video for Single “Mark Of The Grave”

EMPLOYED TO SERVE have released an accompanying music video for their latest single, “Mark Of The Grave” – check it out HERE. 

“Mark Of The Grave” is the second single from Employed To Serve’s forthcoming album, Conquering, and demonstrates the band at their most metal yet. The video is a trip, to say the least…

“With this video we just wanted to have fun,” says Employed To Serve frontwoman, Justine Jones. “After months of being cooped up inside, we wanted to focus on a project that was more light-hearted. We shot the music video at Miracle theatre in Cornwall with director Ryan Mackfall. The theatre was kind enough to give us free-reign of their studio and stage costumes. Everything was shot in front of a green screen to maximise the opportunity to have fun with the edit. We then sent over a few notes to VFX artist Nadav Rotem and assistant Jake Potter, as soon as they came back with Sammy doing a solo on a flying, flaming skull I knew it was going to be my favourite video – it’s wild and we love it.”  

Conquering, due for release on September 17th 2021, will be Employed To Serve’s second full-length album on the Spinefarm label.  

Drawing influence from the music of their youth and a new perspective on how to nurture the positive aspects of humanity and individual growth, Conquering is a celebration and acknowledgement of triumph in the face of a world that can be relentlessly adversarial.  

ETS began recording the album in the “unforgiving winter” of 2020; produced & mixed by Lewis Johns at The Ranch, Southampton, mastered by Grant Berry at Fader Mastering, Employed To Serve took the time thrown at them by a world stopped still to write their most visceral material to date.  

Pre-orders for Employed To Serve’s fourth studio album are now live, with an instant download of singles, “Exist” & “Mark Of The Grave,” plus special bundle options including t-shirts, hoodies, shorts, pink socks, skateboards and limited colour variant vinyl. Order your copy HERE. 

CONQUERING TRACK LISTING:
Universal Chokehold
Exist
Twist The Blade
Sun Up To Sun Down
The Mistake
We Don’t Need You
Set In Stone
Mark Of The Grave

Employed To Serve recently appeared on the mainstage of Download Festival at Donington Park. The event marked a moment in history, seeing live music return as part of a government-backed Pilot scheme. The Guardian noted Employed To Serve as a festival highlight, commenting, “Employed to Serve exude venom” whilst Metal Hammer called their set “relentless” & “blistering”; Kerrang! were just as enthused, adding, “Sammy Urwin’s sledgehammer riffs awaken Download’s inner headbanger, while Justine Jones’ barbed screams urge those gathered to toss any notion of social distancing in the bin.” 

Following this appearance, Employed To Serve were swiftly announced as support to Gojira on their extensive UK & European tour.
