Having never listened to the band before, the name ‘My American Heart’ made me not want to change this fact. After listening to ‘The Shake (Awful Feeling)’ however, I’m extremely glad that I gave the band a chance. The band went into the studio last February with James Paul Wisner, a producer that has worked with bands such as The Academy Is… and Dashboard Confessional, and are to release the album their new album in early November through Bodog Music. Wisner’s production values are extremely apparent here, and with a sound remarkably similar to that of The Academy Is…, My American Heart have in my opinion come out with an extremely high quality single. With some terrific guitar licks, supreme vocal talent, and a downright dynamite chorus; ‘The Shake (Awful Feeling)’ is bound to go down exceptionally well upon release. With an average age of only 20, My American Heart have accomplished a hell of a lot for their years and will without a doubt continue to grow and flourish as a band. I for one am thoroughly looking forward to the release of their ‘Hiding Inside the Horrible Weather’ album later on this year.
