OFFBEAT HEROES, bringing you their version of UK skacore! they have been together since Feb 2006 - for the 1st year the band was never top priority. however, after completeing a 27date UK tour in the summer they have now found their feet. through out 2007, they supported a number of bands such as Citizen fish, Sonic Boom6, AOS3, The restarts, Moral dilema, Splitside.
OBH, play an original blend of pollitically charged punk merged in with a 'Rocksteady beat'. Materialwise, they have recorded an 11track album 'Liberation Theory' which was recorded in robins bedroom by james exley. Furthermore the beginning of 2008 saw the offbeats move into Tower studio's, Pershore to record 6 tracks for an EP which will due to be released in late spring! 2008 has brought good things so far, with a series of gigs booked for 'LoveMusicHateRacism' and a signing onto PUMPKIN RECORDS.
Unfortunatly Ciaran our original drummer had to leave us, to pursue his career as a session drummer, which meant we had to find a replacment drummer for our summer tour. we called in martin (ex kamikaze sperm) and with martin, we also gained jake (guitar) and beanie (alto sax) which has beefed up the offbeat line up for 2008's summer tour. However after the tour the 'offical' line up is still uncertain. We still have a few months to go before we venutre across europe. so try and catch the Offbeat 7 this summer, you can find us in the UK, belgium, holland, denmark, germany, kallingrad, lithuania, lativa and russia! .... MORE TO COME SOON!
OFFBEAT HEROES ARE A TRUE D.I.Y BAND AND BELIEVE IN SUPPORTING ALL DIY MUSIC AND LABELS!
A BIG SHOUT TO ALL THE BANDS/PROMOTERS/PEOPLE THAT BELIEVE IN THE DIY SCENE AND HAVE HELPED US WITH GETTING CONTACTS AND SHOWS ALL OVER. BIG LOVE
"Offbeat Heroes, young lads with plenty of punk attitude, storming the crowd who were knocked back by the attitude but were won over at the end. Totaly young, raw and worth seeing before touring kills them" - review from gig supporting Citizen Fish 17/07/07 (general botch up promotions)

Warning! People, be careful, animals! Last year very dangerous animal ran out of the zoo. Lots of people have tried to catch this beast, but unsuccessfully. This year it is supposed to be back in the same place, at the same time. So tell this all you know and maybe even love...
