Have Heart were an American straight edge hardcore punk band formed in New Bedford, Massachusetts in 2002.

Initially working with a revolving lineup of local musicians, the band played their first show in July 2003, and in November, their debut demo was released.

In 2005, Have Heart moved to the estimable hardcore indie Bridge Nine Records and underwent a lineup change, with Paling replaced by Kei Yasui and Shawn Costa, respectively.

We will be playing our last show on this year's National Edge Day on October 17, 2009 with a bunch of our friends bands and a sweet guest.

On May 13, Have Heart announced that after finishing their world tour and doing a final show on October 17, 2009 for National Edge Day in Massachusetts, they will split.

In this time, Sam Yarmuth from Triple B Records filled in for Flynn, and he rejoined the tour on July 3 in Wiesbaden, Germany.

On July 25, 2009, Pat Flynn told the audience during their set on Moshvalleyfest in Belgium that they might release a last EP later that year, though this plan was later scratched.

[7] Included with 10.17.09 was a pamphlet announcing We Were Supposed to Stay Young, an upcoming DVD chronicling the band's career and general scene of the time.

Following the disbandment of Have Heart, Patrick Flynn began working as a history teacher but he and the other members remained active in their local scenes.

Free released a four-track, self-titled demo recorded by Trevor Vaughan (Sex Positions, Soul Control) in their home of New Bedford, MA on November 29, 2015,[11] followed by another EP titled Ex Tenebris on May 15, 2017, which also consisted of four songs, recorded by Will Killingsworth at Dead Air Studios.

[9] In February 2019, the line-up of Free announced they would be playing eight shows under the name "Have Heart" in Leeds, Boston, Los Angeles and Cologne in July 2019.

[14] To promote a sale in their webstore and to celebrate the return of Have Heart, Bridge 9 pressed the previously unreleased track from the Songs to Scream at the Sun sessions titled "Lions and Lambs" as a stand-alone limited-edition 7" single in March 2019.

They have cited influences including Swiz, Turning Point, Inside Out, Crossed Out, Embrace, Count Me Out and In My Eyes.
