House of Heroes is a young four piece Rock/Pop band from Columbus, Ohio. The band officially became what they are today back in 2003 when they dropped their old name No Tagbacks for their current one. HoH have a sound similar to: Gatsby's American Dream meshed with Muse and Colour Revolt, but are so much more than that...What's great about this band is their eclectic sound and meaningful lyrics - not to mention that they are just beginning their musical career. The band often weaves driving power chords with nice rhythmic melodies. To stay fresh, they'll often change up the tempo of the song to set a different mood. The mood is also set so brilliantly by their poetry through songwriting. The main lyricist is the band's bassist, A.J. Babcock. He often uses metaphors to portray a greater idea, taking on subjects from propagation of corruption in "Buckets for Bullet Wounds" to opinions on religion in "Serial Sleepers". So, between their thought-provoking words and infectious music you'll find something great, and we can only expect it to get better.
THE SKINNY: If your a fiend for cryptic lyrics, deep thoughts, and catchy tunes, House of Heroes is for you.
FAVORITE TRACK: The singer, Tim Skipper, really shows his singing prowess in "Metaphor in Parentheses"
APPROPRIATE FOR: if you feel like solving a jig-saw puzzle, or you're looking for some verbal coffee
FOR FANS OF: Gatsby's American Dream, Muse, Colour Revolt
