Los Angeles punk four piece the Heartwells have a new EP called Ollie coming out on July 8th, and we’re stoked to bring you the exclusive premiere of the brand new single “Piss n’ Gums”. Check it out below and pre-order the record on beautiful dreamsicle splatter colored vinyl right here.
Heartwells will also be playing an album release show at Alex’s Bar in Long Beach CA, July 6th where they’ll be playing the record in full! Tickets are available here.
Here’s some background on the song from JT of the Heartwells:
“Piss n’ Gums is a song about taking the beatings in life so much that it almost becomes masochistic. The metaphor of life being a cruel mistress in a way. Growing up I ran into a lot of hurdles in life, I look back at a-lot of the hardships and the cards I was dealt and how that has shaped me to be a stronger person and to rise above the things that would normally hold someone down.
Life is constantly a challenge but I think thats what shapes us and makes us who we are. Ive learned to accept my challenges as experiences I’m supposed to have rather than try to avoid them. The sweet can’t taste as good without the sour. Life is like a Dom ready to crack a whip on you when you least expect it. Might as well learn to enjoy it!”
