Great name for a great band. I wish I would have thought of it. The Heartless Bastards are out of Cincy Ohio, and much like their Ohio brethren the Black Keys, they have quite a bluesy feel and a vaguely similar sound. However for their upcoming record The Mountain, which drops next week btw in case you want to go buy it, they also have a bit of an alt-country/southern rock feel. That could be because they recorded the album in Austin with the produer of ...Trail fo dead. They also recruited an austin local to play the steel guitar on the record. In fact, they've spent so much time in Austin, they are getting mistaken for an Austin based band by the local papers. But you got to give the credit to Cincy since they don't have much to root for over there. They have the Bengals for christ's sake! Here's the title track from the album.
