Half Hearted Hero

Forming during a time of increasing musical narrow-mindedness on the south shore of Massachusetts, Half Hearted Hero began in the basements and garages of New Bedford in 2005. Fighting for a chance to be heard while drowning in a sea of Hardcore and Metal, Half Hearted Hero's first EP entitled Home, released in 2007, established the bands reputation as a pop-punk powerhouse. With a positive attitude and a fun, yet thoughtful and introspective sound and style, the band makes music they want to hear, keeping in mind that somewhere there are kids just like them who are aching for the same thing. Influences such as The Fullblast, Small Brown Bike, and The Starting Line come together in a surge of harmony and ferocity as the band weaves interesting melody with driving beats and catchy choruses. Half Hearted Hero's first full length album, Defining. Refining. is scheduled for an April release on Fastlife Records in Japan as well as Set Sail Records and Farewell Party Records in the U.S. With this release, Half Hearted Hero sets the bar for pop punk bands to come, and creates a sound unique to themselves and the New Bedford area.
