Heros Severum

About Me

Heros severum was a damn righteous band from Athens, GA. We let our integrity guide the decisions we made. We never got huge, but that was never the point. We were not lowest common denominator.
Some of the high points of our band included: Getting asked to open for Mission of Burma in Atlanta. Recording with J. Robbins. Having a song on the Jawbox tribute album. Having early DangerMouse mixes on our first record long before he ever got big. Being a part of Two Sheds Records. Getting reviews (good and bad) in national print media. Touring with Roy. Winston's hott saxxx. The exploding chair. Recording our second album ourselves. Never having a bass player and never playing at the 40 Watt Club. Charting on CMJ. Playing in Manhattan. Robert Newsome's vinyl interpretations. Releasing 7" records even though nobody buys them anymore. Playing as many all-ages shows as we could. Sneaking whiskey into all-ages shows. And finally, all the cool people we got to meet.
Heros Severum has played it's final show.
