Heart Attack Man
Originating in Cleveland, Ohio, Heart Attack Man took shape in 2013 around Eric Egan, initially as a studio project before becoming a live band with Adam Paduch and later Ty Sickels. The trio moves between punk rock, pop punk, emo, melodic hardcore and alternative rock, delivering nervous songs, direct guitars and songwriting that mixes sarcasm, tension and catchy choruses. After a first demo in 2013 and the EP Acid Rain in 2014, Heart Attack Man built itself up in DIY circuits through house shows, small venues and regional tours across the Midwest, the US Northeast and Canada. The band then released The Manson Family in 2017 and Fake Blood in 2019, two records that expanded their audience beyond the local scene. The 2021 EP Thoughtz & Prayerz marked a new phase ahead of Freak of Nature in 2023, an album with a more upfront pop-punk and alternative approach. Heart Attack Man followed with tours in North America and Europe, sharing bills with acts such as Neck Deep, State Champs, Tigers Jaw, Hot Mulligan and Spanish Love Songs. In 2025 the band added a fourth studio album to its discography with Joyride The Pale Horse.
