"Traces of Time," the third studio album from Austin, TX based THE SWEETHEARTS, wears its influences proudly on its sleeve. From studio guests (ANTI-FLAG and members of SCREECHING WEASEL make guest appearances on the record) to studio production team (Mass Giorgini / Dan Lumley, best known for their work with Rise Against, Anti-Flag, Screeching Weasel, Smoking Popes, Mike Dirnt of Green Day, and many more), the band has clearly set out to create a classic punk record. And man have they succeeded. "Buzz-saw punk combined with a nod to the Golden Age of Top 40... vocalist Linette Liendos pixie growl crosses Gwen Stefani, Bernadette Peters, and a tank of helium..." - Austin Chronicle "... solid rock n roll with bubblegum vocals... comes across like the best of the Chubbies, or an Eyeliners live set when they are really on. Its good shit." - Razorcake Magazine.
