Shot through the heart with 'Arrow'

Heartless Bastards truly lived up to its name by releasing its new album "Arrow" on Valentine's Day. Hailing from Austin, Texas, the band is fronted by lead singer Erika Wennerstrom. The group got its name from a pub trivia game asking what the name of Tom Petty's band was (The Heartbreakers), and one of the wrong options was "The Heartless Bastards". While its name might have started from a joke, the band has proved it's not, as "Arrow" serves as another great addition to the band's stellar rock discography.

Melancholia: A dish best served cold
