About The Guilty Hearts

The Guilty Hearts are a primitive, lo-fi combo made up of 3 generations of native Angelinos from the Hispanic quarter of LA, steeped in the city's culture, angst, and excess, playing a mix of trashy bluesy rocknroll. Hermann Senac, the group's elder statesmen, is L.A. punk rock royalty, having co-founded cow-punk innovators Blood on the Saddle. Hermann's primitive pounding can also be heard on records by Crowbar Salvation/Marty Nation and Ace Farren Ford (Child Molesters), Loafin' Hyenas (w/ Rob Ritter of 45 Grave fame & Tex Edwards, Click Morte) & more. Edgar Rodriguez, the fucked up fuzz guitarist, spent his most recent years laying down bass with The Rippers. The Rippers were a short lived Los Angeles band that appeared on the L.A. Shakedown compilation, but served to unite Edgar and Leon as a strong songwriting duo. Leon "Catfish" Zalez, the youngest member of the Guilty Hearts, also did time in The Rippers. He brings to the table his wild guitar, his tortured words and his screaming harp.
