Heartless Bastards The Heartless Bastards are a power trio whose members have taken a no-frills approach to life and music. Singer, guitarist, and principal songwriter Erika Wennerstrom and her brother were raised by a single mom in Dayton, OH. Wennerstrom discovered her interest in music at a young age, but she always preferred writing her own songs as opposed to singing Disney tunes in school productions. Dove Hunter Fear has flown! The Southern Unknown! Words painted on dry, weathered wood. Shrines of bone and feathers of the dove. Under hot clouds of Texas and Mexico border towns, our signs weather in sweltering, dry farmlands thirsty for rain. A scorpion with dragonfly wings floats on a thermal mirage, the mysterious savior, the Dove Hunter, the Southern Unknown.
