Combining vintage rock’n’roll chops, stylish sixties sensibilities and a timeless melodic power-pop sheen, American supergroup the Empty Hearts return with a class-dripping second album The Second Album. With a line-up comprised of Elliot Easton (The Cars, guitar), Clem Burke (Blondie, drums), Wally Palmar (The Romantics, guitar and vocals) and Andy Babiuk (The Chesterfield Kings, bass) here’s a garage-rock combo with reputation to spare – and, as Clem Burke reveals, friends in high places.
