Cold Cold Hearts was a punk rock band formed in Washington, D.C. in 1995. Comprising singer and songwriter Allison Wolfe, guitarist and back-up vocalist Erin Smith, bass player Nattles, and drummer Katherine Brown, the band released one 7" single in 1996, and a full-length self-titled record the following year, both through Olympia, Washington-based label Kill Rock Stars. Wolfe and Smith were members of the band Bratmobile prior to forming Cold Cold Hearts; they revived Bratmobile (with bandmember Molly Neuman) after Cold Cold Hearts disbanded.{{Cite web |url=https://dcist.com/story/11/11/03/secret-history-cold-cold-hearts-st/ |title=Secret History: Cold Cold Hearts' S/T |author=Gentry, Brandon |date=November 3, 2011 |website=DCist.com |access-date=July 31, 2019 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190504024738/https://dcist.com/story/11/11/03/secret-history-cold-cold-hearts-st/ |archive-date=May 4, 2019 |url-status=live }}

In a retrospective in The New York Times, Elisabeth Vincentelli wrote: "Everything about that combo was bare-bones: its discography (one 7” and one album), its songs (under two minutes) and its production (minimal but poppy). But Cold Cold Hearts burned bright and was funny, too, fully indulging in the humor that marked Bratmobile's best songs."{{Cite news |last=Vincentelli |first=Elisabeth |author-link=Elisabeth Vincentelli |date=May 6, 2019 |title=Riot Grrrl United Feminism and Punk.
