EPISODE 25: Jared Ellul of Heart Attack Kids - a podcast by Off The Record

Heart Attack Kids originally started as a two-piece punk band made up of lead singer and guitarist Jared Ellul and drummer Nathan Stock in 2013. This high energy rock music really transferred well to their live performances, and the band would sign their first record deal in 2016 with Undergorund Operations and subsequently release their first full length album "No Future". 

The band would eventually switch labels and sign to Toronto Independent label New Damage to record and release their second full-length album "Bad Luck Like Gold".  Not long after releasing this album Nathan announced that he would be leaving the band - on good terms mind you, he just wanted to dedicate his time to his now fiance and start a career in carpentry - Jared and Nathan are still good friends this day. 

Jared didn't let this stop him from continuing on the project and he quickly teamed up with bassist Craig Gignac and session drummer Mark Swann and the three of them are currently working on new music. Can't Stop is the first single we've heard with the new line up, but Jared hints that another single will be out before the end of 2020.  I spoke with the bands co-founder and frontman, Jared about the history of the band, the new line up and new music he's been getting into. We even chat about the struggles of trying to stay fit during this pandemic.  Here's my chat with Jared of Heart Attack Kids.
