Heart On My Sleeve is a Stockholm-based screamo collective formed by veterans of the Swedish underground hardcore scene, including members of Followed by 37 Seconds of Happiness. Their sound is firmly rooted in the European 'skramz' tradition, characterized by high-velocity drumming, melodic yet abrasive guitar work, and a dual-vocal approach that emphasizes raw emotional honesty over technical perfection.
Throughout their active years in the 2010s, they became a staple of the Scandinavian DIY circuit, contributing to several influential splits before releasing their definitive full-length, 'In The Midst Of Hope And Nothingness', in 2015. Their work is often cited alongside peers like Disembarked and No Omega for its ability to blend the aggression of hardcore with the atmospheric sensibilities of post-rock. Critically, they are respected for maintaining a strictly DIY ethic and for a production style that preserves the 'room sound' of their recordings, avoiding the over-sanitized polish of contemporary American metalcore.
