We Should Run While We Have the Chance $12 postage paid"A chilly blend of wispy vocals, dark, poetic lyrics, and echoing, reverbed guitars over tight percussion, Iron Hero's sound is a taste of sheer shogaze-rock bliss" - Paste Magazine "The music is often startlingly beautiful — awe-inspiring in the same way Hubble photographs portray an unfamiliar universe" - Delusions of Adequacy "For a six-piece, the sound is surprisingly lean and muscular, with the rhythm section taking a prominent role in giving the songs an intoxicatingly propulsive character" - Tiny Mix Tapes "These are dark, intricate songs born of post-punk mothers and synthesizer dads...Safe As Houses is a record with plenty of appeal for those willing to submerge themselves within its depths" - Cokemachineglow "A thoroughly immersive listening experience that worms its way into your inner ear with nary a struggle" - IGN.com "These songs could be huge and epic, but that might leave them feeling colder than they should be. Here they have just the right size and shape to keep you warm" - The Big Takeover "Iron Hero achieves genuinely cathartic moments so gradually and naturally that the listener only realizes it once the music has stopped" - indieworkshop.com
