First off, we are currently recording the new album and so we have decided to remove the massivly depressing old songs so as not to scare people. But for the timebeing WATCH THE SPACE ABOVE
THE UNLIKELY HEROES:
The Unlikely Heroes are a five-man legion. They know your deepest fears, most hidden sexual urges, and they know how to soothe you with pure and undisrupted MUSICAL “HWARR”.
Legend tells of a tribe of musical nomads who arrived in the deepy wilds and social deserts of North-East Somerset centuries ago. They became quickly known in the underground militant wing of the local Co-op, and after that point everyone knew, when they felt that stirring beat and tune grip them by their heartstrings, testicles, or other genital areas, that those legendary Heroes were not far away from their primitive homestead. Years passed, and eventually, the Heroes had to die. Their time had come. The leader of the Heroes, a raven-haired, straggly-goateed heartbreaker only known as The Zen Man, in his dying breathm told of a day when the BLINDING ROCK SPIRIT of the Heroes would possess a little-known unexpected band from a town called simply, Bad. Time passed yet again. Night turned to day, to night, and so on. Bad became Bath. Then a young boy called Benjamin Roquefort Hubert Semtex McQueen Danger Morris picked up a guitar… and the rest is current news (application for placement in history books still pending… bloody Council).
So the spirits of those immortals of old came to rest in a motley crew of young musicians. No-one expected them. No-one foresaw their arrival. But the world needed them. They are… The Unlikely Heroes.
Their indie pseudo-oasish powerpop hardcore soft rock electro-funk melodies have been known to stun even wild bears into submission, and constantly entertain the local population of brightly coloured hermit crabs, sheep and people. Having played the local social scene for nigh-on two years now, The Unlikely Heroes have gone through everything a band needs to reach their current state of musical epiphany: multiple name changes (the stereocurvaccendohnebugodswetcats? did you just sneeze?), dodgy haircuts (not dodgy, fashionable), and that damned trilby. Critics say they're:
"a smash - my wig hasnt seen this much action in donkey's years",
they have,
"the best sense of rhythmical style since The Bonzo Dog Doo Dah Band, and they were geniuses"
and more simply,
"YARR!!!"
The above statement has since been retracted by one James “I’m a feckin’ pirate, me” Moore. To be replaced with:
“They feckin’ rock! Go see ‘em! The poor bastards need the squid!”
The review from the Moles Student Battle of the Bands has been posted on their website (www.moles.co.uk) or more simply you could read it here.
Band number one…Unlikely Heroes? Yes but their giving it a good try. These guys look and sound like your classic student indie-rock five-piece band. Two guitars, bass, drums and keys (the keyboardist looking very swish). They had a raw and dirty guitar sound along with a gritty vocal that I really liked. They were touching on that sixties revival sound made famous by the likes of Brian Jonestown Massacre and The Dandy Warhols. They’re still clearly developing however but they have songs and can play well and their potential could be heard. A good start.
although we didn't win I'm still extatic about the way we played, shame on all those who said they would some down and support us and didnt, shame, shame, shame on you.
