The Heads Hearts Are...
The heart of Heads Hearts, Amber Taylor-Groves has soul running through her like I ♥ Brighton through rock. She sings, she writes, she rocks a live show: she's everything you could want in a front woman. Her unique sound will permeate your blood and move your bones, it will make you hit 'repeat' from your front door to your desk.
American Bass Player in London, Lynne Porterfield, has been playing music since she first stuck some elastic bands around a tissue box as a kid. Lynne has been part of Heads Hearts from the very early days as one of our official photographers, but now she’s here to bring you some soul-shaking bass.
With the beat in her blood, Abby Tythe is a girl who hits the skins like a prize fighter. Sweet as a kitten and rock hard, our little drummer has it all. This lady is our Dr Avalanche; she’ll get your heart beating to the rhythm of electronic soul.
