Underground Heroes
Contact
UNDERGROUND HEROES are: Brothers Aaron and Joe Dollimore, George Penfold and Jak Miller. Playing gritty, grimey punk in dirty venues singing about their chavvy mates and nights out, Underground Heroes are not too dis-similar from their own Heroes and Influences, such as The Clash, The Jam and The Specials.
During their first year of playing together the boys have had a huge amount of success. Starting the year playing gigs at the well respected local music venue 'Tap n Tin' through to slots at various summer music festivals, playing Ibiza Rocks wth The View and The Automatic and finishing it at the London Astoria, again supporting The View. They also played as tour support on The View's tour this year and played with other bands such as Bromhead's Jacket, The Cribs, Captain and Get Cape Wear Cape Fly.
As well as playing live the boys had their first official releases this year. 'Alright Darlin'' appeared on the Ibiza Rocks compilation disc whilst 'Stella The Mistress' was released by 1965 Records, with 'Lost In Dundee' as a B side. This limited edtion single achieved great success, being played by XFM London, XFM Scotland and getting second place on Zane Lowe's "fresh meat".
After a 100mph year, Underground Heroes plan bigger and better things for the next. More Gigs, more sweat, more songs, more blood, more shit hole venues, more motorways, and loads more Rock n Roll.
To quote our pals "You'd be AMAZED at what you can achieve in a year"
"The Ordinary Boys Gargling Glass"
"The Jam if they'd have read the Razzle instead books on politics" - NME
"Million miles an hour cocky-yet-witty-with-it-lad-punk - in the best possible way" - NME on 'Lost In Dundee'
"Extremely straightforward, Jam-style sweary, fag-chuffing brilliance of Stella The Mistress by Underground Heroes, which promises to "drink smoke fight my life away" with all the drawly hooligan romance of any highbury pub on match day" - Hamish Macbain on 'Stella The Mistress'.
"They're really young and exciting live. It's like they've just got out of school and someone has stuck fucking bombs up their arses. They spend the whole of their gigs shouting at the audience and jumping among them. I think they're a really great band. Pretty much everytime I've seen them my mouth's been open like FUCKING HELL..." James Endeacott, 1965 Records
