After a self titled EP released last year on Jade Tree, THE LOVED ONES are back with their first full album, and it’s on Fat Wreck. The trio, made of ex members of Kid Dynamite, Lifetime, The Curse and Paint It Black, delivers 13 tracks of energic punk rock’n'roll, where you can hear vibrant guitar, pop melodies and fast anthems. “Jane” and “100K” are without any sort of doubt the two masterpieces of the album, with easy listening melodies, Dave’s raw vocals and incredible catchy choruses. The production, due to Mr. Brian McTernan (Thrice, Hot Water Music) is perfect, and contrary to the previous band’s recordings, this time it stresses the ability of the trio to generate old school punk rock song with a touch of innovation. “Keep Your Heart” is quite possibly one of the best punk rock album to ever come out for Fat Wreck Chords, and I am quite sure we will be hearing a lot from these guys.
