TV is Boring

Square Eyes

‘On/Off’ references a bunch of our favourite TV shows (including the X-Files, of course), and is a back and forth between the duo about the two sides of the idiot box: the comfort of TV and the distraction it creates.

It appears on our forthcoming EP, TV Is Boring, out November 26, 2021.

The last track off Hearts and Rockets (FKA Heat Wave)'s debut album Dead Beats - download The Silence for FREE! Buy the album at psychichysteria.com.

The Silence (single)

Hearts and Rockets is the theme song for the band Hearts and Rockets. When a wedding band threatened them with legal action to change from their previous name, Heat Wave, the duo decided to take the name of one of their newest songs - Hearts and Rockets. That day Hearts and Rockets, the band, was born. How many times would you like us to say Hearts and Rockets?

To celebrate the shedding of skins, they've decided to release the song that is now their namesake - download it for free here, or pay what you feel at their BandCamp.
