ABOUT THE BAND ABOUT THE BAND
HILLSIDE HEROES BEGAN WHEN FOUR FRIENDS, WHO ALL SHARED A PASSION FOR WRITING AND PERFORMING, MERGED THEIR
INDIVIDUAL STYLES TO CREATE A UNIQUE COMBINATION OF ENERGETIC, NO-NONSENSE INDIE AND HIGH-OCTANE SKA, WITH A TIGHT
REGGAE FLAIR. A TRULY DISTINCTIVE SOUND.
SINCE THEN THE BAND - WHO ARE BASED IN CORNWALL - HAVE GONE FROM STRENGTH TO STRENGTH. THE HEROES HAVE BEEN BUSY BUILDING A SUPPORTIVE FAN BASE
AND A SOUND REPUTATION ALL OVER THE SOUTH, INCLUDING CORNWALL, BRISTOL AND LONDON.
REVIEWS REVIEWS
'The Rame Peninsula’s ultra-talented, ultra-catchy Hillside Heroes, pictured top, took first
spot in the judges’ eyes. Job done.'
- Matt Fleming, Plymouth Herald
'Their appealing brand of indie, which offers a distillation of their widely varying influences packaged in
cleverly-composed songs, is winning them huge respect on the city scene.'
- Clare Robinson, Music Critic
'An up-and-coming indie outfit from South East Cornwall, Hillside Heroes are definitely ones to
watch. The four tracks that make up their latest EP are catchy, uptempo and infectious indie-driven tunes with a
dash of reggae and a sprinkling of ska to keep you on the dance floor. You Don’t Need A Reason is a belter of a
tune, an absolutely stomping live
anthem and a potential hit single.'
- Christian Murison, Go2 Magazine
'Cornwall's unashamedly upbeat indie-pop quartet, Hillside Heroes, have youth, curiousity and
precocious talent on their side; which may be why their keen, Maccabees-esque melodies and fresh rhythmic impulses
are so becoming. And for a band so young, it's encouraging to hear such knowing restraint in the guitar department,
which certainly benefits the twangy dynamics of 'Energy Sessions'. Their new EP 'The Good Times Are Killing Me' is
out now.
