Ladeedah. ....Check out our website, and for more pictures of Broken Heroes, go to http://photos.yahoo.com/bhnjoi.............................. ............................................Broken Heroes is a New Jersey band, formed in 1991. They hit the ground running. Playing alot of shows and shutting down alot of shows. The aggression that you expect from an oi!-punk band was prominant in Broken Heroes. It was a time when punk was still only cool to those that really loved it. Not the whole entire friggin commercial world. The Pipeline, in Newark New Jersey, was their regular venue with other Jersey bands like Niblick Henbane, Those Unknown, The Wretched Ones, Headwound and more. Each of these bands and fans kept Broken Heroes alive. In 1993, they recorded the "Jump For Oi!" 7 inch on Headache records. Soon after, the "Media Blowout" 7 inch, on Headache Records, followed. A few years and compilations later, the band started to crumble. Vibram 94, Blank 77, The Bristles, and The Tombstone Brawlers have all acquired Broken Heroes members at sometime. Like a well awaited four pound shit, Broken Heroes felt totally recharged when they got back together. They currently play and re-record the old songs. However, the songs written in the last few years, have more energy and feeling than when these guys were 15 years younger. Although they may seem a bit older and wiser, that only means they are more strategic when ruining your day. They have a full length c.d. on Street Anthem Records. Just like their songs from the old days, Broken Heroes' recent songs are based on real events and situations. They don't write generic "beat down" songs. They don't try to act like they are from another country. If they want to play a certain style they do it. If they want to sing about something ridiculous, they do it. If they want to write another song about an over-done subject, they do it. Broken Heroes loves their fans, but they don't care what you think.
