Profile The Swiss Wild Hearts formed in 1984 by Paul Etterlin. 1986 found the band with their self-titled album, gain minor success while the song “Dreams in Spain” which also released as a single and video gave to the band the title of  Newcomer Band of the Year in Pop / Rocky in MS Musicpoll in 1987. Many live performances took part in all over Germany and Switzerland include various TV shows. In 1992 the band return with their second album that melled to be their last. The album’s title is “Died Young” and released via NPR Records. The band’s sound changed into more melodic with some heavy influences of bands like “Talking Heads” with emphasis in the harmony backing vocals. Very rare nowdays and worth a listening if you find it…
