Your friends say hardcore kids don't buy records

According to an industry source (actually just NickHMR), Have Heart's new record is number 197 on the Billboard Hot 200 pop chart. That's an amazing thing, especially when they're channeling a thoroughly non-commercial force like our comrade Recaall for their single (is it a single?) "Bostons":

There's the absolutely flawless "Bostons," where Flynn trades off with fellow would-be poet, Shipwreck A.D.'s J.D., barking lines about how "sometimes a man breaks" and "sometimes he can't bend," leading to an invigorating, building bridge that begins to hit detonation point with Flynn announcing "[so] I could be the boy you couldn't be" and an unraveling, mind-shattering, catchy explosion to finish.
