Guitar lines whip up storms of nostalgia, nodding their heads in the direction of early nineties American rock, but the band's own take on the brash melodies set them aside from similar acts gracing our airwaves and being unwillingly forced down our throats. Citing their influences as the likes of The Posies to The Afghan Whigs to Kyuss, it's still fair to say that SOUNDS LIKE VIOLENCE have their own thing going on. The jagged music, jarred tones and messy-together sound they produce gratefully infects your very consciousness.
The difficulty they found in pursuing their musical dreams in and around the small town of รngelholm, Sweden made them ever stronger, solidified their friendship and led to their pushing themselves and their music harder and harder. Rather than fleeing to the brighter lights and wider opportunities available in Stockholm, the band stuck to their roots and knuckled down in order to get their show quite literally on the road. Sticksman Daniel T. professes that SOUNDS LIKE VIOLENCE will โtour like idiots, everywhere and always,โ so it shouldn't be too long before they're treating you in a nearby setting. These are the boys that will no doubt make hardcore and punk kids strut the dance floor with a new grace and style. - Emily Kearns

Heartless Wreck
Sounds Like Violence Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
A thing that happened, right
I wasn't myself last night
I called up my first love
It must have been ten years since we last spoke,
I said: Hi, How are you? What have you been up to since you cut my heart out?
Is it there somewhere?
Does it fit in there?
I just want my heart back,
You can send it in a box
I can pay for postage,
But hurry up
I have been a heartless wreck
It's about time you give it back,
'cause i have been a heartless wreck
You have used my heart to decorate your white walls,
Does your boyfriend consider it as art?
My blood's been dripping to your floor for the past ten years,
Every drop has been hurting
- How the hell did you survive? - I cut you with my biggest knife,
My intention was to kill you
- Don't you worry girl, I got a temporary heart and a pacemaker pumping it,
I want my real heart back,
You can send it in a box
I can pay for postage,
But hurry up
I have been a heartless wreck,
It's about time you give it back
'cause i have been a heartless wreck,
I want my real heart back,
You can send it in a box
I can pay for postage,
But hurry up
I have been a heartless wreck
For so long i've been on the wrong track,
'cause i have been a heartless wreck
The song Heartless Wreck by Sounds Like Violence tells the story of a person who calls up their first love after ten years and demands the return of their heart. The lyrics are quite metaphorical and suggest that the person's first love had taken their heart, figuratively speaking, and used it to decorate their white walls, leaving the singer a "heartless wreck". The singer is frustrated and angry at the situation, as they feel that their first love has taken advantage of them and used their heart to make themselves appear more attractive to others.
The lyrics also reveal a violent history between the two, with the singer admitting to cutting their first love with their biggest knife and expressing surprise that they survived. The use of violent imagery throughout the song suggests that the relationship between the two was not a healthy one, and that the singer is still dealing with the emotional aftermath of it.
Overall, Heartless Wreck is a complex song that delves into issues of love, violence, and emotional manipulation. It is a powerful reminder of the ways in which relationships can be both beautiful and destructive.
