Based in Leamington Spa, UK for several years. However, due to financial pressures associated with lockdowns throughout 2020 -2021 they were forced to move back to their native home in Belfast, Northern Ireland.

They have received support from the likes of BBC Introducing, BBC Radio 2, BBC Radio London, Guitarist Magazine, Maverick Magazine, Hot Press Magazine and Spotify editorial playlist support, such as ‘Very Nearly Nashville’. Achieving well over 280,000 Spotify Streams on their single ‘Bruise You Left’.

A heavy work ethic has seen The Night Hearts tour extensively across Ireland, UK and Europe.

The Rising have released two albums and several EPs. However, in 2020 they embarked on a strategy of releasing a single every six weeks.
