Based out of the snowy, upper Midwest, hard-hitting, faith-based post-hardcore quintet These Hearts blend the pulverizing rush of metalcore with the confectionary mellifluousness of pop-punk, bringing to mind contemporaries like Taking Back Sunday, Chunk! No, Captain Chunk!, and A Day to Remember. Formed in 2007 in Fargo, North Dakota around the talents of Ryan Saunders (vocals), Isaiah Folk (drums), Kyle Colby (guitar/vocals), Daryl Van Beek (guitar), and Tyler Rice (bass), the band self-released their debut EP, Mistakes & Second Takes, in 2008 before inking a deal with Victory Records, who issued their full-length debut, Forever Ended Yesterday, in 2011 and its dynamic follow-up, Yours to Take, in 2013. ~ James Christopher Monger
