As ironic and self-deprecating powerpop purveyors, Heartbreak Club are caught somewhere between story-based satire and empathy, simultaneously mocking and embracing western world youth - think Joss Whedon writing for a Get Up Kids and Dinosaur Jr collaboration.

Heartbreak Club is an emotional headfuck teaming with credentials: The EP ...lamecore, essentially a thinly veiled launching pad for the single "Bethanie", was released in May 2007, having received healthy airplay throughout the USA, Canada and Australia on college, national, and indie radio.

HBC bunker down with Ed Rose (The Get Up Kids, Motion City Soundtrack) in February 2008 to record another round of blistering powerpop, hot on the heels of USA and Australian touring.

The 'Bethanie' single and music video is receiving overwhelmingly positive reviews, as has the '...lamecore' EP and the vibrant stage show.

With the intention of recording a humble EP, "the Club" locked themselves into their makeshift studio (HBC H.Q) with Producer Luke Garfield (Lout). The end product snowballed after being mastered by Rick O'Neil (U2, Faith No More), culminating in it's international release and notoriety.

Heartbreak Club has an acquired wealth of touring experience, least of which includes their inaugural US tour in October '07 including CMJ Music Marathon and On The Rox (Roxy Theatre in LA).

HBC have played alongside national and international acts such as The Sleepy Jackson, Jonah Matranga, Faker, Bodyjar, Behind Crimson Eyes, The Devoted Few, Ground Components, Sekiden, Spod and Karnivool in supporting and festival (eg MySpace sponsored Strikeback) capacities, on top of their own interstate headline touring.

Heavily influenced by The Get Up Kids, Queens of the Stone Age, Foo Fighters, Green Day, The New Amsterdams, Zolof the Rock 'n' Roll Destroyer, Smashing Pumpkins, The Pixies, Blink 182, Weezer and Dido, it's evident Heartbreak Club are understudies to popular but genuine outfits from where their own "candy-coated substance" is born. They are currently in pre-production of their debut album.
