The Tell-Tale Hearts

The Tell-Tale Hearts Too Many Lovers / Promise 7″

R&B sixties punk on both sides, the A-side is an organ-dominated tune and the flip is harp-heavy. Neither really wails, but both are competently delivered and although generic in style, there is a thread of originality. From San Diego.

The Tell-Tale Hearts The Tell-Tale Hearts LP

The TELL-TALE HEARTS use an invigorating R’n’B-style as an inroad to their brand of psychedelia, replete with cheesy organ and harmonica. “Crawling Back to Me” employs a biting ’60s punk sound with good results, but I also enjoyed the moody “Dirty Liar” the most of their slower material. A very good effort.
