Ahead of its release at Moonshine in Manly on August 10th, Sydney rockers Love Drunk Hearts are today premiering their new single, What Makes A Man after moving swiftly since the release of previous tracks She’s a Fox and Two Hearts.
What Makes A Man from Love Drunk Hearts is lyrically vulnerable, stacked upon with articulated guitar work and gripping hooks.
Contemplative and bright, combining unique vocals with tight and well-rounded guitar work, the band have delivered a single to be proud of in What Makes A Man.
What makes Love Drunk Hearts such an engaging act is their ability to clearly marry a clarity of tone and narrative, but also to bring the noise.
In no way is this a band hiding behind their vocalist, rather, each chord presents a new opportunity to hook in the audience, their pulsating mix of garagey punk and soulful tone means that you never know quite where the song will go.

In saying this, Love Drunk Hearts are just as capable of stripping back such a bold song into something altogether more subtle and understated.
Be sure to also check out this intimate live recording release of their acoustic take on What Makes A Man. Exploring a wholly different side to the band, Love Drunk Hearts have proved that their sound is transient and fluid.
Set to support Sons of The East at Moonshine this week, the band have been doing the rounds across Sydney, performing at a number of choice venues including Oxford Art Factory, Frankie’s Pizza and Brighton Up Bar.
The single will be available on Thursday the 10th of August and is sure to solidify Love Drunk Hearts as a catchy and bright addition to Aussie music. Filled with the right about of blood pumping energy and intimate lyricism, What Makes A Man is a standout.
