The Head and the Heart

The Head and the Heart describe themselves as a band that speaks "to the newness of a fresh start, of the ghosts left behind, of moving forward, all brimming with a soulfulness and hope for a better life than the one we've all been sold." Ambitions aside, this Northwest six-piece certainly lives up to its promises. They deliver the most honest of lyrics alongside folksy melodies and foot stomps.

Here's a video, courtesy KEXP, to convince you further:
