About the music/why it rocks/ why you should check it out- Heroes For Tonight is part Blink-182, part Mest, part their own thing. It's a little big late 1990s/early 2000s pop-punk, but current, too. Listening to HFT, the influences of (in particular) Blink-182 and Mest are pretty clear. On their Myspace, HFT says "We stay as positive as we can towards our fans. We know that life can sometimes be a struggle & we try to get people in a good mood & move past all the bad things with our music!"- and with their kick-ass blend of distorted guitars, upbeat (but not too fast) tempos, catchy melodies, and lyrics that just stick in your head, they definitely succeed in that. And they look pretty good while doing it.
Heroes For Tonight is an awesome band!! I'm glad to see that they are number one on your blog. I caught two of their shows on the tour they're on. I would tell them that they are awesome but I'm pretty sure that they already know how much I adore each of them personally. Plus I'm kinda mad at the mess they left in my room a few nights ago. I keep finding their skittles wrappers and bottles of water everywhere. And it still stinks like all their man junk.
ReplyDeleteIf you haven't checked their myspace in a while, you should. They have a lot of new group and individual shots up that they took here around ETSU's campus and they look just as good as ever =D
