Cleveland’s own Heart Attack Man keep the momentum rolling with “Cleveland Rocks,” a punchy new single that lands right after their widely praised 2025 album Joyride the Pale Horse. Rather than feeling like an afterthought, this track sounds like a confident extension of a band operating at full strength.
“Cleveland Rocks” leans into everything that’s made Heart Attack Man one of the most compelling modern punk bands: sharp, driving guitars, tightly wound rhythms, and vocals that balance sarcasm, grit, and sincerity. There’s an anthemic quality to the song, but it never slips into empty hype. It feels rooted in place, scene, and identity, without trying too hard to sell the idea.
Coming off Joyride the Pale Horse, a record that showed real growth in songwriting and emotional range, this single feels lighter on its feet but still purposeful. The hooks are immediate, the energy is high, and the band sound completely comfortable in their lane. It’s raw without being sloppy, melodic without being soft.
“Cleveland Rocks” works as both a nod to their roots and a reminder that Heart Attack Man aren’t slowing down anytime soon. They’ve proven they can deliver full albums with depth, and this single shows they can still hit hard with a standalone track that feels fun, confident, and unmistakably theirs.
