The Nod’s Shoddy Heart EP was released in August of 2009. A fairly organic and upbeat record, the disc encompasses truthful songs molded from stories of loss, gain, selfishness, selflessness, guilt, elation, regret, and optimism. The record acknowledges that what goes around comes around…to some degree, only some of the time. We’ve all been stabbed in the heart before, figuratively…hopefully. Sometimes we return the favor and stick someone else right back. Either way, we get burned, but we wouldn’t play with fire if it wasn’t a little bit of fun. Right?
