Established in 2007 as a classic rock destination festival with the motto “life, liberty and the pursuit of rock,” Rocklahoma was revamped in 2010 as organizers teamed with AEG Live to create an event encompassing a much broader mix of classic, current and up-and-coming rock artists. In 2011, a record-breaking crowd of over 35,000 fans turned out for the festival, which raised over $10,000 for the American Red Cross as part of their tornado relief efforts in nearby Joplin, MO. In 2012, a national television audience was able to experience many Rocklahoma band performances in HD when AXS TV aired live coverage of the festival.

Rocklahoma marks the final event of the 2013 World’s Loudest Month. Created in partnership by AEG Live and Right Arm Entertainment, the World’s Loudest Month features the biggest names in rock music performing in five distinct U.S. concert atmospheres: Welcome To Rockville, Carolina Rebellion, Rockfest, Rock On The Range, and Rocklahoma. In 2012, the World’s Loudest Month featured over 100 artists playing for more than 200,000 rock music fans across the country on five consecutive weekends, confirming that rock music is as vital as ever.

Rocklahoma is proud to be sponsored by Bud Light, Hard Rock (presenting the Hard Rock 2^nd Stage), Jägermeister, and Monster Energy.

Bullet Tooth Signs The Smoking Hearts From The UK!

Bullet Tooth is excited to announce the signing of The Smoking Hearts from the UK! The band will release their Bullet Tooth debut album "Victory!" this summer in North America and Japan. Playing with the likes of The Used, Asking Alexandria, Gallows,  Andrew WK, and many more, The Smoking Hearts have cemented their reputation as one of the most exciting young bands in the U.K.

  In fact, Jay and Moose from Bullet For My Valentine recently told the UK press, "We think everyone should check out The Smoking Hearts this year, they are good mates of ours. A brilliant band, think Motörhead on more speed beating up the Anti-Nowhere League then bumming The Ramones. Seriously, think about that. They have a new album out this year called 'Victory!', a definite recommendation."

Joining the family at Bullet Tooth and having labelmates like Affiance, Throw The Fight, First Blood, Serianna, Death Ray Vision, and more, was important to the band. Calvin Roffey (Bass) commented, "I'm really excited that The Smoking Hearts have joined Bullet Tooth. It's great that we're able to release Victory! with a group of people that understand what we're about as a band, and can help us reach new people that will rock out with us. Really excited to work with the people that have bought us some of of our favourite bands through the years, and together put The Smoking Hearts on the map."

Vocalist Ben Mills also checked in, "Feels good to finally have a US home, and on such a killer label as Bullet Tooth - we had such a great time when we went to the States for SXSW and Houston we have a problem, be good to finally have a release out in the US and Japan, to give us a reason to come back."  

There is no such thing as a dull moment for The Smoking Hearts. Live shows have seen guitars smashed and drum kits sprawled across stages and it is not uncommon to find half the band playing in the crowd while singer Ben Mills is in the back of the venue, on the bar, or hanging from the rafters, all the while coercing the crowd into joining the party.  

After releasing their debut album Pride of Nowhere to rave reviews from the British music press (KKKK - Kerrang!, 8/10 Rocksound, 8/10 NME), The Smoking Hearts hit the road on their first national tour to support the release, wreaking havoc throughout the U.K. and Europe.

With the release of their new album Victory! coming this summer, The Smoking Hearts are getting ready to show the world the result of those writing sessions. Once again proving that their unique blend of high-energy Rock ‘N’ Roll has the dexterity to resonate with Punk, Metal, and Hardcore crowds alike.

 Recorded with Dan Weller and Justin Hill (Enter Shikari, Young Guns), and recorded over a period of four weeks in Fortress Studios, London, Victory! is an aptly titled record.  Clocking in at just over the 30 minute mark, Victory!  is a celebration, a testament to The Smoking Hearts' DIY/ 'never say die' approach to life on stage and off. Featuring guest backing vocals from over 40 of the band’s friends, Victory!  is a party of an album, the soundtrack to every good night out. 

The past 18 months have seen The Smoking Hearts go from their bedrooms, to clubs throughout the U.K. and Europe, destroy down in Australia as part of Soundwave Festival and even wreak havoc in the United States. Now, with the release of their new album, The Smoking Hearts intend on celebrating their victory worldwide.

Stay tuned for new music, videos, tour dates and more from The Smoking Hearts! Catch the band LIVE this coming weekend (February 10) at The Grand Hall 2 in Cardiff, UK with Bullet For My Valentine.


"Worthy contenders to take Gallows "Kings Of British Punk crown." - NME

A brilliant band, think Motörhead on more speed beating up the Anti-Nowhere League
then bumming The Ramones. Seriously, think about that. They have a new album
out this year called 'Victory!', a definite recommendation." - Rocksound

"The aural equivalent of Bad Religion going ten rounds with Gallows
in a cage fight. Likely to give you a black eye just listening to it." - Q

“This is head banging, beer-spitting, ear-bleeding Rock ‘N’ Roll at its loudest
and proudest... Boasting enough power to raise the dead” - Kerrang!

"Equally known for destroying venues as they are for their
balls-to-the-wall take on punk rock." - Noisecreep/AOL Music

“Their incendiary songs and live energy is pure perspiration soaked entertainment
to the max. These boys deserve your attention and deserve to be huge.” - Big Cheese


The Smoking Hearts are:
Ben Mills – Vocals
Nobba Green – Guitar
Simon Barker – Guitar
Calvin Roffey – Bass
Matthieu Taylor – Drums
