Straight up no bullshit rock and roll! Why are they not huge? Everyone should hear this.

These Letterman debuts are wonderful. They’re playing their guts out, and really shining brightly.

The finest female voice I've heard in ages. Great songs. At last, another decent female rocker!

This band is soooooooooooooo good!!!

Love this band

I was in the audience. They sounded great live!

they are all soul and real feelings! Love them!

i've been listening to this song, "My Maker" & "Hold You Head High" on repeat for the last 2 days. :) thanks, you guys. i needed a new favorite band. ;)

This music is soul healing and helpful. Their songs are like having someone hold your hand and show you the way out of your own head.

I LOVE this song!! Just saw them with Wolfmother and the newno2! Awesome show!

Loved this performance! I agree with you, Dave and Paul were in their own little Antone's world. But it was great of Dave to have HB's on the show and to give them such exposure.

This band is awesome. Can't wait for their next album

I bought The Mountain last Friday and I've had this song stuck in my head all day. Great album.

everyday I love this band more & more

Can't go wrong with this band.

Excellent sounding group! I'm suret we'll be hearing a lot more from them.

If any of you saw them live, they toured with The Deep Vibration. Both bands came into our studio to perform so check em out!

I saw them open for the Gaslight Anthem, and they weren't dull at all. They rocked the fuck out! I liked them better than the main act.

Original sound and talent...you go girl! Eat your heart out Joan Jet! This girl is right up there with Chrissie Hines, Debra Harry and Patti Smith

missed the performance last night on letterman, glad to see it's up! awesome performance, good to see letterman talk to the band for a few seconds rather than just shake their hands and say "heartless bastards, ladies and gentlemen, we'll be right back!"

thank god the circle is unbroken..u go on HB

gonna see them at canal street on the 27th with my brother.

So damm cool!!!

12y this song was released and i found it only today

+Mashiach Rocker ah yes! Exactly what I was thinking!

I saw them open for Andrew Bird, too. And I agree at times they were a little 3-chord, but I didn't think they were dull. To me they were a good reliable rock band, bringing out hard and loud music. I was really feeling it. I went to Andrew's show from 2 years ago, and the opening act was really dull. I think it was some woman with an acoustic guitar. So Heartless Bastards was definitely an improvement.

Love this song! and the band (:

Best rock band out there at the moment.

Just Saw them at SXSW, pretty damn good!

would love to see them live!!!!!!!!!!

I saw them a year ago in Reno, opening for Gaslight Anthem, who cancelled at the last minute, making HB the headliners. It was okay by me, since I came there for HB anyway. Great show!

Sweet sound. xoxo roo roo

Saw them open for Wolfmother. I loved their cover of Done Got Old

YEAH, CINCINNATI!!! Even though wiki and their own site says Dayton, we know the truth. Back in 2001-2004 Erika was my favorite bartender at Arlin's on Ludlow, and she brought a lot of great music to the scene there, made me sing karaoke a few times, heh. What a ruler. Her voice and talent are amazing. Love you Erika.

i saw them live yesterday at the kool haus! fucking amazing!

Did the HB's add a fourth member, or was that cat on guitar just for the TV performance? Keep up the fantastic work, Bastards!!

I just saw them open for DBT...was pleasantly surprised even if they aren't the most original.

Saw them in a tiny second-floor venue in Cincinnati in 2004 or 2005. That version of the band was fantastically rough and sludgy. But I love this version too.

Saw 'em with Jenny Lewis last night here in Jacksonville at Freebird, they fucking tear it up.

this band is the balls nuts!

Heartless Bastards killed it at the Independent last night! Erika Wennerstrom is my new hero. And she made a bunch of disaffected hipsters dance like nerds. Whee!!

They were all fantastic weren't they?! I can't believe I saw George Harrison's son!!

I wish I could find the lyrics to this song. Love it though.

@jimmymac63 yea he does the dodos played in Letterman great band

Best rock band out there at the moment (to me anyway)

@claredom she has served you drinks before?! lucky!!

I honestly don't know why they don't get more airplay! Sheese, if she isn't a second coming of Janis Joplin, there will never be one!

great performance! i love the call out for cincinnati.

Last night they were at Chelsea club in Vienna.

wasnt this on the same program with capt sully sulenberger

Miss my sea men

ME TOO At the Riviera

Wolfmother blows these guys out of the water. I saw them at the kool haus in toronto and it blew me away. HB on the other hand were just average I thought. You're completely entitled to your opinion though :P

McDowell Mountain Music Festival!!

Lookin' down to make sure she's hitting that chord change for sure

perfrect

Back-up harmonies would really set this song off. The Sommatone amp lead guitarist uses sounds awsome!

They're better live! Saw at Dia de los Toadies.

I love Erika Wennerstrom. I love the HBs. I love James McMurtry even though that's a different band. I love the Pretenders. Anyone who doubts Chrissie should track down their first album. I'm sure that Erica loves it. James Honeyman Scott was amazing.

saw them open for andrew bird last st. patricks day, hard act to open for, but yeah, they definitely rock

Can someone please fix this video so we can all see it...Thanks

I first heard their music on wfuv dot org. They have a cool sound and just DIFFERENT!!!! They sure aren't mainstream or boring...

@baldy5000 i don't really think they've even made it big yet, but i know what you mean, knowing when a band is going places.

I have to agree on the "Austin" comment. They've clearly moved here but weren't formed here so are trying to tell Dave they're from Cincinatti.

You didn't come off as a jerk at all! I was just adding my two cents. :)

@porkstorm because that is how Johnny Ramone said it was to be done!

@hungrykillerspoon But he does have great musical guests!

erika looks like she could be right off the pretenders II album cover ... in homage to chrissie hynde? daytonians done good.

hey i like em...reminds me of the pumpkins...

@porkstorm that'st the way buddy holly played too

@raysfan527 Completely disagree, they are awesome live and their songs don't sound the same at all. Not sure why they were opening for Wolfmother... not really that similar.

somebodys been watching chrissie hynde

@chadgarland and the ramones, ac/dc, guns n roses, and wilco. what's your point? am i not allowed to have a broad taste in music?

i think they are very good live. i don't think they could do bad on anything!

@chadgarland and if I listen to Led Zepp AND Wolfmother? What then?

@robmatlivingstone You are completely off the mark, they are one of the best rock bands performing today. Perhaps you are the one who can't hear correctly.

Oh a blond Crissie Hynde

she sounds like the lead singer of jefferson airplane

just kinda realized the similarity to cat power in a strange way...

bastards sounds so much better in an english accent

nice energy...erika's outfit reminds me of early ray davies...not an insult so don't take it as such...thanks

She looks like Rose Ushiromiya from Umineko No Naku Koro Ni

skip david 0:30 lol

beats cincinati

Why is Letterman so fixated on "Austin" at the end there? The Band is clearly trying to give some love to their home town! Oh Dave, have you become a slightly senile elder who has the right to start telling a "when I was your age" story whenever it suits you?

@porkstorm Jack White plays with a lot of upstrokes. There is no right way to play the guitar or any instrument for that matter. The sound is all that matters. If it takes all down strokes to get it...so be it.

he doesnt even seem like he likes it all wtf david shame on you

poor drummer didn't get a shake...

I prefer joan jet .... this band has the makings of greatness but there is something missing ...they'll probably sound better live though....

Janis Joplin

What is it with girl guitarists and only down-strumming?

@chadgarland i agree that led zeppelin is great but you have to actually give music a chance before you call it shit
