Fire Note Says: The Heys give a lesson in rock straight from the UK on YoungBored&Broke!

Album Review:
From the kickstart guitar revving on the opening track “Friday Night” to the sing along mid tempo closer “Take It Easy”, The Heys lay it all out on the table for the full forty-six minutes on their debut record YoungBored&Broke. The concept of the band was actually conceived back in 2004 by singer/songwriter Tom Flynn. But after spending some time looking for the best people to be in the band and trying various line-ups, Flynn finally found what he was looking for within his circle of musician friends at the local pub and then poof – The Heys were formed. To avoid the pitfalls of expensive recordings and the possibility that they could sound terrible the band built their own basement studio which is a decision that shines through on each pounding track. It is this raw energy that makes YoungBored&Broke so appealing and The Heys “rough around the edges” vibe that makes every hand clap more lively, every melody ring truer and the need to see this band in a packed club seem dire. With a fresh spirit like the Arctic Monkeys and the artistic style of The Jam, The Heys have created a fantastic debut that rocks timelessly and hums off into the night, leaving the listener with only one thing to do – hit repeat!
