Hardly Heroes are 4 lads from Portsmouth UK, where everywhere else, bar the Ilse of Wight, is North. Yes, Everywhere. Take a listen to our music, tell us what you think, maybe take your trousers off, see what happens.
"I like these lads!
Thin sounding as it may be, you give it
some thick wumf! by giving the guitars a biting edge, with a dry
attack on the main vocal leaving the air to the backing ones.
I like the energy in their style and live performance pictures.
I like the burgeoning image - Luke, almost looking like a very young
Paul Weller, and the rest reminding me a little of the Undertones. A
spunky bunch!" Franz Stahl - Scream, Wool, Foo Fighters
"You guys are awesome." Michael 'Mickey Shoes' Shuman - Queen of the Stone Age, Jubilee
Hardly Heroes are up next, one of the south coasts most popular young bands these indie-rock upstarts thrash their guitars and pound the drums but lead singer Luke Usher's vocals eschew the screaming and gurning antics that make indie-rock a dirty word, instead adopting a baritone that at times hints at an almost Jim Morrison-esque croon. Sam Malone and Will Cahill's duelling guitars adding layers of sound that veer from stadium rock to indie jangle and from punk snarls to, at one point, a reggae riff that sounds a bit like The Police. These guys are good though, assured performers and astute enough to pick up on what works and what doesn't. Artrocker Magazine
"When these guys performed at the Tin Hut festival last summer they were good, but here, with new guitarist Will Cahill firmly ensconced in the band, they were brilliant! Luke Usher's grinding bass set pulses pounding while Will Cahill and Sam Malone, who has grown tenfold from solid guitarist to a musician oozing presence on stage, threw jagged riffs like bolts of lighting over the top. Add Usher's warm and engaging vocals to the mix and these boys have every tool they might need to head onwards and upwards.Look out for Hardly Heroes, in 2007 they began to light up the local music scene, in 2008 they'll burn bright!"
