HONOR BOUND HEROES started out with the purpose of bringing a little NYC Attitude to the California Central Coast. After leaving NYC/Jersey City for the West Coast in the Summer of '05, Pete Truent went on the hunt to find the right people that shared the same passion for music.
It took 5 months of weeding out the flakes until he was contacted by a local Singer/Guitarist after seeing a Craigslist posting. Mat Pinto, was a Fresno native who relocated to SLO County for a fresh new start, and was in search of new band project. After a few email's Mat jammed with Pete and former Bassist JJ Strangler for the first time, and fit right in. It took nearly a year for them to find the right Sound & Direction, but it was well worth the wait.
Fusing the sounds of Punk, Rock, & Hardcore, while adding a dash Metal for flavor.... this Trio proved that Music can be Soulful, Truthful, and In Your Face.
Fast forward to mid '09, HBH would go through 2 bassists and gain a 2nd guitarist. Trailer Cash was drafted into the fold to add his Evil Six Strings to the ever growing list of new music. It had been a constant topic of adding a 2nd guitarist, so when the opportunity came around, Trailer came A'Knockin with his awesome energy, personality and love of Music. A fill in bassist from other local bands would be added for any major shows that would be offered, but the hunt is on for the next key member of HBH.
After banding together in 2006, with a long list of shows under their belts including opening slots for Circle Jerks, T.S.O.L, Street Dogs, and Time Again, self releasing a full length album, and dealing with lineup changes, H.B.H continue to move forward and work hard to evolve the Sound and Style they call “Punk n Rollâ€. They could easily record a new album every year if they had the means to do so.
