“Heart for Rent”, with it’s passionate vocals and epic choruses, is the new single from Middlesbrough band Jimmy and the Sounds.
They play heartfelt, hook laden songs to dance to, sing along to and they describe their tracks as “Music to fall in love to”.
Their sound is that of a radio airplay dream with razor sharp indie-pop sounds that live, catch their audiences in a euphoric state with their hook laden and catchy sing back choruses all performed with a strong belief and a spring in their step!
Together with their matter of factness North East attitude, they have an enviable ability of writing indie pop hits that provoke emotion and the band believe solely in living in that musical moment.
