Blessed by not-so broken sanity.

Artist of the week was actually Polar Bear Club, but they've already been glorified once and so it was instead handed to second-in-liners Blessed By A Broken Heart. Okay, in your head right now you're probably putting the photo and their name together. And you've probably developed the idea that their music is going to be a) awful - depends on your taste. Or b) cheesy - ooohh yes, spot on there.

Usually I refrain from listening to cheesy music. But BBABH are differently cheesy, like one of those cheeses from Europe you can't pronounce the name of. Combining the most generic elements of the 80's pop/glam/hair phase (including the image) and modern metalcore, they manage to make two generics equal something unique. I'll admit, they're one of my guilty pleasures. I find their music infectious, catchy, danceable and upbeat. These guys really are one of those bands you'll fall in love with, or absolutely loathe with every ounce of your being.
