High-Energy Pop-Punk & Indie Anthems

The South West’s high-octane alternative to the standard function band

Based in Devon and Cornwall, Black Hearts deliver a high-energy live experience built on the anthems that actually get people moving. We’ve traded the typical "function band" repertoire for a curated fusion of high-octane Pop-Punk Roots, Indie Edge, and Modern Anthems. Our sets are designed to bridge the gap between the nostalgic era of Blink-182 and Green Day and the modern, sharp edge of Sam Fender and The Wombats.

Specialising in weddings, birthdays, and corporate events across the South West, we work directly with you to build a setlist that fits your vibe. Whether it's a nostalgic pop-punk wedding set or a night of modern indie floor-fillers, our mission is to keep the energy peaking and the dancefloor packed from the first chord to the final encore.

“We just wanted to take a moment to thank the Black Hearts for the incredible performance you gave at our wedding at Nancarrow Farm on 27th November. You truly bought the party to life and created an atmosphere that we, along with our guests, will never forget. I especially wanted to thank you for the beautiful rendition of Fairytale Of New York. It was perfect.”
