Heartbeater is a rock band from Nashville, Tennessee.
In Fall 2009, Heartbeater released their self-titled debut EP. The four songs comprising the EP possess a nostalgic quality which combines the energy of indie greats like Pixies, Dinosaur Jr and the Wipers with walls of surfy, reverb drenched guitars to create a sound the Nashville Scene calls “unique and ballsy as all get-out."
The band consists of Greg Mabry (guitar/vocals), Corey Taylor (guitar), Jon Shoemaker (bass) and Jeff Ehlinger (drums).
In just one year, Heartbeater has managed to win the hearts of Nashville's ever difficult non-country music scene, capturing Nashville band of the month for Nov. 2009, as well as being named one of the top ten bands in Nashville of 2009 (#8). As an added bonus, Heartbeater has been hand picked out of the enormous number of great bands in Nashville to compete in a contest held by Budwieser and BMI where the winner gets to perform at Bonnaroo 2010!
Heartbeater recently solidified a Mid-West tour to take place this coming May, and there are plans to do more touring as the summer approaches. March 5th, 2010 began the process of recording our debut full-length record, "Slow Waves."
