The Smoking Hearts will be unleashing a whirlwind of punk music into the world on March 8th 2010 with the release of their debut album 'Pride of Nowhere,' but for now, the band are concentrating on the release of the first single from the album.

'George Street Wrestling' is an in your face, spitting and snarling sort of a track. There is an air of urgency about it thanks to the insane guitar riffs and thunderous beats. Parts of the track relay the sound of old school punk which gives the track a harder, raw edge.

Having already toured with the Misfits, Gallows and Skid Row, it is clear where the band get their inspirations from. Touted as ones to watch in 2010, the album that will follow the single is certainly something to look out for if you're missing your current punk fix.
