The band members are Kip Berman(vocals and guitar), Peggy Wang (keyboards and vocals), Alex Naidus (bass), Kurt Feldman (drums), Christoph Hochheim (guitar).
The Pains of Being Pure at Heart built up a pretty rabid fan base in the indie pop community prior to the release of their self-titled debut record in early 2009.
For this, they could thank a string of excellent singles and EPs that began in 2007 (songs from which appear on the album) but more than that they can put it down to the fact that their sound melds together the trademarked sounds of many beloved indie and noise pop bands into one shiny ball of sound and melancholy.
The band name comes from an unpublished children's story of the same title that a friend of singer Kip Berman wrote. The group's self-titled album peaked at #9 on the Billboard Heatseekers chart.On September 22, 2009, they released Higher Than the Stars, their second EP. The band released their second album, Belong, on March 29, 2011.
Belong and Heart In Your Heartbreak are two songs from that album.
