Review: Tuk Smith and The Restless Hearts’ single “Ballad of a Misspent Youth”-Release date August 12, 2022

In 2020 Tuk Smith and The Restless Hearts released their debut single ā€œWhat kind of Loveā€ and were dueĀ  to tour with Def Leppard and Motley Crew before Covid blighted their plans. Fast-forward to 2022 and the band, now signed to MRGĀ  a sub label of Virgin Records, are about to release a new album of high energy rock and roll.

Their latest single ā€œBallad of a Misspent Youthā€ has a ā€œ Brown Sugar ā€œ riff interspersed with a driving beat and spiralling guitars overlaid with Smith’s defiant vocals that grabs you with the first line and doesn’t let go. The Lyrics list a series ofĀ  wrong turns accompanied by a refrain of being ā€œtoo young to die and too fast and looseā€ before giving way to a climatic guitar break. This number will resonate with many and deserves extensive airplay.
