Jupiter Hearts is a band from Charlotte featuring Rob Pennington (Endpoint, By the Grace of God, Black Cross, Black God), Charlie Wood(Broken Hearts Are Blue, Vine), Tim Kriependorf (Triple Threat, Hands Tied), and Scott Wishart (Late Bloomer, Scout).
When Rob Pennington (Endpoint, By the Grace of God, Black Cross, Black God) left the weird little island of Louisville, Kentucky for a new job in Charlotte, he thought that he also would be leaving music and his punk community behind. A year later, he found himself playing music with a fellow Charlotte professor and guitarist, Charlie Wood. Wood native to Kalamazoo, MI grew up a stalwart member of its mid 80’s punk scene, heavily influenced by the bands that would regularly play in the region. They recruited bassist Tim Kriependorf (Triple Threat, Hands Tied) who had moved to Charlotte a decade prior and who first met Pennington in Germany during Endpoint’s 1992 European tour. Finally, they asked drummer and owner of Lunchbox records, Scott Wishart (Late Bloomer, Scout) to close their musical circuit. Their sound, an amalgam of their experiences growing up in four different scenes, is reminiscent of spirited mid-eighties punk/hardcore. Pennington’s lyrics are both personal and political, consistent with the Jupiter-sized intention behind the music.
