Album Notes & Community Reviews

Have Heart's debut full-length 'The Things We Carry' is a high-octane explosion of modern Youth Crew energy. The record emphasizes social consciousness, self-respect, and the weight of personal responsibility. With its blistering speed, iconic vocal delivery, and anthemic choruses, the album quickly became a foundational text for the mid-2000s hardcore revival and remains a standard-bearer for the genre's positive and political ideals.
