February 16, 2024 BY Emma Orland
Los Angeles alt-pop band The Strike combines soaring vocals with moving, anthemic lyrics on “Heroes of the Heart.” The single, which delves into how to navigate supporting a loved one through grief, showcases The Strike’s signature danceable blend of pulsating synthesizers with a modern rock edge. Listen HERE.
The Strike frontman Chris Crabb elaborates, “‘Heroes of the Heart’ is a song about being there for others in their time of need. Grand acts of bravery sell a lot at the box office, but everyday acts of kindness rarely get as much attention. And while incredible acts of heroism are certainly worthy of celebration, we wanted to write an anthem for the people who show up in simple ways and remind us that no matter what happens, we’re not broken.”
“Heroes of the Heart” is just the latest single The Strike have released over the past few months, following the band’s feel-good track “Soundtrack” and friendzone bop “Just Friends.” Stay up-to-date on details about their forthcoming debut album by following the band on socials.
