THE HEATSEEKERS, THE STORY By Billy Boloby, Esq.

So the Heatseekers claim to be "first class rock 'n' roll." Sure, them a cajillion other "garage rock revival" bands, right? So what makes them first class, riding shotgun and not stuck in coach with the scores of tenth-rate Stooges/Velvets clones? Two things, really: punk and soul. Rather than wasting time in front of the mirror, trying to get that scraggled look (you really think the Strokes just got out of bed?), the Heatseekers are busy belting out tunes that pay equal homage to the Who, the Ramones, AC/DC, and Otis Redding. The Fort Lauderdale-based four-piece comprising Owen Von Heatseeker (lead vocals/lead guitar), Terra Marie (bass), Chuck Loose (drums), and Chris Maggio (rhythm guitar) has proven its worth over the past three years with an unyielding penchant for straight-shooting, unaffected raw energy (i.e., music that doesn't agree with the popular mandate that boredom sells)....
