Social Hero - "The Famous"
(Machine Dream Records)
Social Hero (est. 1998), a five-piece rock act from New York City, heralds a Renaissance of Rock and Roll. The story of Social Hero begins with their catalogue of tightly crafted original music, which showcases “a taste for power-pop hooks, crunchy guitars and arty embellishments” (Time Out New York). The band draws influences from a wide range of styles, but the sound of Social Hero is sown mainly from the seeds of classic and modern rock. Fact: Cream and Led Zeppelin had a bastard child of rock that grew up on the early ‘90s alternative explosion – they named it Social Hero. Together, the gang of five treats every audience to a highly polished, raucously explosive performance. With their new full length album The Famous in hand, the boys are ready give rock’n'roll a firm kick in the ass. Get the lead out!
