Tuk Smith & The Restless Hearts Quotes

"PLEASE ENJOY MY DEBUT SINGLE, 'WHAT KINDA LOVE'

"If that's not enough, I'm beyond excited to announce that we'll be hitting the road with @motleycrue, @defleppard, @poison, and @joanjett & The Blackhearts this summer for The Stadium Tour!."

"Tuk Smith bleeds for rock & roll, and not your run of the mill, contemporary Rock that the industry claims is dead - but true to its roots rock that the classics were built on. After building a career as the frontman for BITERS, Tuk is ready to launch his solo career with his band The Restless Hearts on his Better Noise debut produced by the legendary Rob Cavallo (Green Day, Phil Collins, Kid Rock)."
