With one of the strongest releases so far for 2012, indie-roots garage rock band Heartless Bastards brought a flawless performance to a sold out crowd at the Echoplex in Los Angeles. Lead by the commanding vocals and heartfelt songwriting of Erika Wennerstrom, the band which includes Jesse Ebaugh (bass), Dave Colvin (drums), and Mark Nathan (guitar) powered through a set consisting of songs from their highly regarded album, Arrow (Partisan Records).
