About Me

Heroes In Headphones has been on the road since 2005 gaining exposure playing every show they can. They are one of the few bands that set out to gain a local state-wide fan-base from playing gig after gig after gig while squeezing in recording whenever they could. After two years, on April 25th 2008, their debut record: "The Light Of Darkness" was finally released, along with all of their merch. to a crowd of around 500 kids in their hometown of Auburn.
The 4 guys from Upstate NY are very unique in their sense of combining the power and intensity of the modern breakthrough bands of today such as Taking Back Sunday, My Chemical Romance, Fall Out Boy and Jimmy Eat World... but also weaving catchy melodies and radio sensibility like that of Blink 182, Simple Plan and Third Eye Blind into their music, making it likeable to fans of all ages ranging from teenagers to adults alike.
In May of 2007, the band was given the opportunity to open for the Epic Records artist: QUIETDRIVE.
Right now, the band is gaining exposure all over the United States and is looking to sign to a record label. Look for them all summer as they play as many shows in as many cities as possible.
Heroes thanks all the fans for letting us be the Heroes in YOUR headphones and for all their support! Keep spreading the word and hopefully we will see you around some shows and from the top pretty soon!
