HeartsRevolution is a New York-based band, described by NME as "the model for the modern pop group."[1] The band consists of Ben Pollock and Leyla 'Lo' Safai, joined for live performances by drummer Terry 'Prince Terrence' Campbell, who has also performed with post-hardcore bands Christiansen and Your Highness Electric, as well as Santigold and Spank Rock. HeartsRevolution were featured in NME's 'Future 50,' a list of 'the innovators pushing music forward,' in 2008 at number 36. The band relies on unusual modes of transport to all of their concerts and in April 2008 mounted an ice cream van for their first tour of the UK.[2][3]
HeartsRevolution has so far released a 12" called "Ultraviolence", an EP entitled "Switchblade", a split 6" along with Crystal Castles"[4] and another EP - "C.Y.O.A." 12". Their song "Dance Till Dawn" was featured on the CW show Gossip Girl.[5] They are currently working on their debut album Ride or Die, which will be recorded from their own house. The album will contain 13 tracks, each of which will have a music video made for it.[citation needed]
Recently the band announced plans for a global tour with Diesel:U:Music, alongside alt indie mentalists Terror Pigeon Dance Revolt.[citation needed]
