THE CHECKERED HEARTS are Los Angeles-based duo Hillary Burton and Lisa Mychols, who have many credits to their names. Their sound is a mixture of explosive power pop and reminiscent of long-lost favourites of the 80’s and 90’s.
They have released their new single and lyric video – a cover of THE CARS classic ‘My Best Friend’s Girl’, which comes off their upcoming EP JOYSTICK.
The highly anticipated official release of JOYSTICK by THE CHECKERED HEARTS is coming to Chicanery Chick Records in the Summer of 2021, preceded by the first single “My Best Friend’s Girl”. Pre-orders for the six song EP JOYSTICK have commenced and the first 100 CDs will be hand-numbered and signed by THE CHECKERED HEARTS (Lisa & Hillary).
JOYSTICK is a collection of classic covers by The Cars, Housemartins, Phil Seymour, Kirsty MacColl, and The Knack. In addition, the release includes a bonus track – a special version of an original Lisa & Hillary song.
Although Hillary & Lisa have a long history of writing and performing together, THE CHECKERED HEARTS came into existence in early 2021 and quickly gained a growing fan-base. These women managed to catch the ear of renowned Los Angeles-based DJ, Rodney Bingenheimer, who has played a number of songs by THE CHECKERED HEARTS on his SiriusXM radio program.
