ARTIST: Jared Hart
ALBUM: "Past Lives & Pass Lines"
YEAR: 2015
PLACE OF ORIGIN: Bayonne, New Jersey
YEARS ACTIVE: 2004 - present
WHAT I THINK THE SONG IS ABOUT:
"The Leo" appears to be a song about a relationship that has stood the test of time. While the vocalist, Jared Hart, is young, it almost seems as if he's writing the song through the eyes of someone much older. Someone who has lived a long life with his significant other and the feelings of love for each other remains stronger than ever.

MY THOUGHTS ON JARED HART:
Jared Hart has been kicking around the punk rock scene in New Jersey since 2004. He got his start with the band The Scandals as their vocalist and guitar player. After playing and recording music with The Scandals for almost 10 years, Hart began doing some solo acoustic tours which ultimately led him to releasing his debut solo album, 2015's "Past Lives & Pass Lines". Most recently in 2021, Hart self-released a live album, "Live From Crossroads", which could be purchased through his bandcamp page. As I said before, Jared Hart is perhaps best known as the frontman for the New Jersey punk band The Scandals. Those guys have played live shows as recently as 2020. Along with his solo stuff, Hart also fronts a new band called Mercy Union which started around 2018. Really solid band right there, definitely worth checking out for sure. Hart's a pretty relentless tourer so, if he isn't playing gigs with his new band Mercy Union, you'll probably find him touring solo or dusting off his old band The Scandals for live shows. He definitely has that Brian Fallon (The Gaslight Anthem) or Chuck Ragan (Hot Water Music) vibe to his music. Solid stuff!!
