Reissue, Remastered, Expanded Edition, Gatefold Sleeve
The Exploding Hearts' Klassiker, Guitar Romantic, feiert sein 20-jähriges Jubiläum und wir hier als remasterte Version mit erweiterter Tracklist wiederveröffentlicht. Mit zehn unbestreitbaren Songs in nur 28 Minuten fungierte das Album von Exploding Hearts als das Punkrock-Äquivalent zu Ernest Hemingways Schreiben: Nichts Nebensächliches, einfach, geradlinig, auf den Punkt gebracht, ohne zusätzliche Schnörkel. Die Arbeit am großen Ganzen stand für die Band im Vordergrund.
In the 20 years since its release - and the subsequent tragic deaths of three of the four band members in a van accident later that same year - "Guitar Romantic" has outgrown its onetime cult status to become an immortal touchstone of the genre. Adored the world over for its vivid depictions of young love and reckless abandon alongside its effervescent combination of influences like the Buzzcocks, The Undertones, Nick Lowe, and more, "Guitar Romantic" is an undeniable statement from a band gone entirely too soon. The expanded and remastered reissue brings a welcome dose of new life to an album all-too-often associated with death, and with it, plenty of old favorites and unheard gems for fans to rejoice about.
