C.Y.O.A.



HEARTSREVOLUTION is an American electronic act formed in Los Angeles in 2005. The group consists of Leyla Lo Safai, Ben Pollock, and drummer Terry Campbell, who joins the duo for live shows. The group's origins date back to 2005, when Safai asked Pollock to write music for the Heartschallenger ice cream truck (which helped fund the band's releases and was later named Best Band Vehicle by Rolling Stone). Heartsrevolution's self-released debut single C.Y.O.A. arrived in 2007; later that year, they shared a split single with Crystal Castles. The band relocated to New York City in 2007 and has released a series of limited edition records, singles and EPs through various labels including Kitsuné, Iheartcomix and Isomorph Records. Heartsrevolution began work on their first full-length and also embarked on some ambitious art projects, which included covering Heartschallenger in Swarovski crystals (a task that took the band two and a half years) and Street He(art), an installation of over 2,000 hanging stuffed animals that appeared in New York, Los Angeles, and Tokyo. The group resurfaced in 2011 with the Are We Having Fun Yet? mixtape. In 2013, Heartsrevolution celebrated their move to Skrillex's label OWSLA with the July release of the Ride or Die EP, their first new music in almost four years; it was followed that December by the Revolution Rising mixtape, on which Just Blaze was an executive producer. The duo's full-length debut, also titled Ride or Die, arrived in April 2014. No more music has been published since. Read more on Last.fm.
