Biography

Young Heart Attack formed in 2001 around Austin, TX scene vets Chris Hodge (vocals/guitar), ex-Sixteen Deluxe'ers Chris Smith (guitar; heretofore known as Frenchie) and Steven Hall (bass), and former Fastball drummer Joey Shuffield. Vocalist Jennifer Stephens was also tapped, as a foil to Hodge's barely-contained yell. A round of 7"'s and frequent gigging (including exposure at South by Southwest) hooked the Heart Attack up with a deal on XL, and soon the Texans were rocking European crowds alongside kindred throwbacks like the Darkness and the Datsuns. The "Misty Rowe" single appeared in autumn 2003, and was followed by more U.K. dates; the full-length XL debut Mouthful of Love dropped domestically in May 2004. ~ Johnny Loftus, All Music Guide

Young Heart Attack (YHA) are a high energy rock band from Austin, Texas which formed in 2001. Chris Smith (known as Frenchie) and bassist Steven T. Hall had previously been in the Sixteen Deluxe and Joey Shuffield in Fastball.

Lineup

Original Lineup (2000-2005)

  • Chris Hodge - vocals/guitar
  • Jennifer Stephens - vocals
  • Frenchie (real name Chris Smith) - guitar
  • Steven T. Hall - bass
  • Joey Shuffield - drums

Current Lineup

  • Chris Hodge - vocals / guitar
  • Jennifer Stephens - vocals
  • Frenchie Smith - guitar
  • Paul Ethridge - bass
  • Jayson Altman - drums


The band originally set up to have several female singers to achieve an almost gospelesque sound. For a significant period of the early stage of the band they were a Seven Piece, gradually members came and went until they ended up with this lineup.

In July 2004, Shuffield left the band to rejoin with Fastball where he would be replaced in YHA by Taylor Young. Young at the time lived in Dallas, TX which made it very awkward for having practices and what started out as a great lineup soon began to fall apart. Young eventually left the band to go back to university and complete his psychology degree.

Shuffield rejoined the band just prior to their mini UK tour which started at the end of May 2005.

After only one studio album, in early 2006 the band announced they were splitting up and ceased work on their second album . YHA regroupped later in 2006 working on a second album with new members mentioned above.

Record label

Young Heart Attack were signed to XL Recordings until late 2004 when their A&R rep left the company.

Discography

Before signing to XL Recordings the band cut three 7" singles with indie label Rex Records. These singles include Over and Over, Mouthful of Love and Tommy Shots. Two of these singles would be re-released by XL Recordings, but these Rex singles, some of which are recorded with former members have achieved collectors items status among YHA fans. Copies of these 7" singles occasionally appear on the internet auction site eBay.

  • Over and Over (single) (2003) XL
  • Misty Rowe (single) (2003) XL
  • Mouthful of Love [EP] (2003) XL - copies of this were initially sold on the bands' tour with Motörhead and have since proved difficult to obtain.
  • Mouthful of Love (2004) XL
  • Tommy Shots (single) (2004) XL
  • Starlite (single) (2004) XL
