At The Heart Of It
To donate proceeds from debut EP release
F
or this local band, At the
Heart of It, everything is art.
Hailing from Manchester, NH, At the Heart of It is a
post-hardcore/screamo band, and
they are currently celebrating the
release of their brand new debut
self-titled EP this March - and donating proceeds to an LGBTQ organization.
The band has committed to donate 10% of all preorders and record sales of their EP to the Greater Boston PFLAG, a non-profit
organization that offers help for
Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer, and Questioning
(LGBTQ) youth, their families,
and communities around the topics of sexual orientation and gender identity.
The most important influence
in their songwriting is their general belief in human equality,
community within music, and
their drive to create art that will
inspire and positively impact the
lives of the people that it touches. They also champion the belief that music is a tool for social
awareness and inciting change,
and a means to open the lines of
communication with their listeners. At the Heart of It, as a band
collectively, believes that music is
not a static form of art, but an ever-changing, constantly evolving
dialogue that is only understood
completely in a live setting.
Clocking in at just over 28 minutes, their six song, self-produced,
self-released, and self-titled EP
is a very dynamic, complex, and
emotionally jarring record. Keeping so much in house, the band
was able to turn what is typicalMarch• 2015
ly a band’s first defining moment,
their first release, into something
much more monumental.
Written as a concept record,
with each song delving into one of
the five stages of grief, along with
the first sounds of moving on (Past
is Prologue), this is by far a very
introspective effort, from a band
with broader extrospective goals.
Preorders are now available at
