The Heart Attacks are an American glam punk band from Atlanta, Georgia, United States, and are currently signed to Tim Armstrong's Hellcat Records. In April/May 2007 the band toured throughout the southern United States as part of a Hellcat Records package tour. Later that year, the band embarked on an extensive East Coast tour that stretched from Florida to Massachusetts, and included a handful of dates in the Mid-West (e.g. Chicago, Milwaukee, Cleveland) as well.

Their first album, Heart and Scissor Killers featured all original members, Chase, Tuk, Dave, Paul, and Amos. The band was offered a place on the 2005 Warped Tour caravan but due to a scheduling conflict and unable to follow the tour, Amos was replaced by Brad, who became their steady drummer until 2007 when he made the decision to continue his education. During the Warped Tour, their bus broke down in California and with the aid of locals, they made their way back home to Atlanta. They also became acquainted with Tim Armstrong in this time period, and left for a better-known label. This decision proved fruitful as the band released a more widely advertised album Hellbound and Heartless in 2006, featuring a duet between Chase Noles and guest singer Joan Jett.

In late 2008, lead guitar player Tuk and bass player Portwood started a side project along with Joey from Vengeance 77 dubbed Poison Arrows. After lead vocalist Chase Noles was put into jail and bassist Portwood went back to rehab, the Heart Attacks called it quits. Now Tuk is playing in Biters. Chase has released music with Dinos Boys, and more recently with RMBLR (pronounced "rambler") with Joey on drums.
