About Me


Culminating from D.C. to Barstow, Ill Fated Hero's members came together in Portland Oregon to create their own brand of energetic and emotional rock that's sure to be stuck in your head long after you shut down the stereo. Influenced by a countless number of styles and bands from the east coast to the west, these guys have found a formula of rock that will have you on your feet jumping and singing the words with them. The vivid images provoked by Chris Baker's story telling lyrics are matched only by the hooks of his melodies and voice belting them. Trading off lead and rhythm guitars, Todd Shigeno and John DeLorme smash the room with their in-your-face tones and layered compositions. On top of his tasty chops and phenomenal drumming, Tommy Anthony brings showmanship and experience to the table having toured the US and Europe in his successful hardcore band Over My Dead Body. Combine these characters on the same stage and you get some serious rock and one memorable show!
