Hey powerpop fiends The Stoneage Hearts are set to return with album number 3, Hung Up (on you)! You may remember them from their 2002 debut album Turn On With fronted by Danny McDonald. Or perhaps youre more familiar with their 2004 release Guilty As Sin with Perth legend Dom Mariani (Stems/Someloves) on guitar/vocals, which came out in Australia on Off The Hip and in America on green vinyl on the BOMP subsidiary Alive Records. This new album comes from another new lineup: Tony Dyer (vocals/guitar), Simon Kay (lead guitar), Dave Hine (bass), plus mainstay skinsman Mick Baty. What is the common denominator this time round you ask, simple, Redd Kross. Mick runs Melbournes iconic record store and label - Off The Hip in late 2012, in the space of a week, three like minded heads dropped in and bought the latest Redd Kross album Researching The Blues. Striking up an immediate rapport, each time Mick asked do you play? With three yess Mick saw this as a sign that it was indeed time to get his beloved Stoneage Hearts happening again. 2013 was spent with fortnightly Thursday rehearsals on the record store stage, honing rough demos into fully fledged powerpop nuggets. In 2014 the fellas laid down the new album at the world class Thornbury studios Head Gap. Hung Up (on you) contain elements of The Las, Smithereens, Plimsouls played in classic Australian guitar pop style. From the chime and jangle of Train at 8, the Attractions beat of First Kiss and good time riffage of Is She, the albums' eleven tracks take up the torch right where Guilty as Sin left off.
