Heroes of Popular Wars

About Me

"I'm not sure that many bands can eclipse the balance of experimental electronica vs. acoustic/hungry guitar offerings that seem to fall effortlessly into the ear" - Milk Milk Lemonade ____________________________________________________________ __ "delivers “Goodbye” with humanity in spite of its overwhelmingly synthetic feel" - Culture Bully ____________________________________________________________ __ "Complicatedly simple. That's why I keep listening to it. Inventive" - Space Food ____________________________________________________________ __ "sparsely atmospheric Enoish ambient electro pop on their site for download which remind me of the coolest British band of the early 80s, Japan" - The Devil has the Best Tuna ____________________________________________________________ __ "Wrapped around a gooey pop center are harsh experimental electronic noises and samples. Truly enjoyable and unusual" - What to Wear During and Orange Alert
