Bring H.E.A.T. to the U.S.A. ! !

H.E.A.T. has been one of the shining stars of modern Swedish AOR based on their first two albums featuring the vocals Kenny Leckremo. He sadly left the band a few years ago due to health issues.

We were as surprised as anyone to hear that former Swedish idol contestant Erik Gronwall had been tapped as Kenny's replacement, especially after witnessing the judges severely constipated reaction to his stellar Skid Row cover.



Things certainly seemed to be on the upswing by the time he unleashed his Iron Maiden cover.



But I did not expect to see him fully transform into the budding Gram Bonnet he's developed into as H.E.A.T.'s new vocalist.



So why am I upset? Because back here in the "good ole" USA, there is NO H.E.A.T. on Emusic, NO H.E.A.T. on Spotify, and only the FIRST H.E.A.T. album on iTunes. Now, it's a good album, but their sophomore album "Freedom Rock" is a GREAT album, and it'll run you $30 bucks for an import!

I think Lock Nut may have been onto something when he stumbled into the room in his sweat pants last night screaming: 

"Oh sure, if you want to watch faux hawked posers stomping their feet in front of the bespectacled creative class there's no shortage of THAT available"



"How about New Yorkers churning out mounds of licensable "down home music"? Yeah, we've got plenty of that to go around too!"



In a true open market we would have access to the music of our choice.
We need H.E.A.T. in the U.S.A. ! !
