Dead Heros has to be the greatest undiscovered punk bands in New Jersey. They just released their second 7-inch, "Schizophrenic EP" on Bandworm Records. I’ll cover their discography over at Discography Depot, but you should check out their website at www.myspace.com/deadheros where you can listen to a dozen or so tracks from their singles and demo.
Same Story, Different Page Demo (2002)
1. Same Old Story
2. Unreachable
3. Neck Deep
4. Soldier
5. Two Americas
6. Slave
The band sold two different version of this demo, one with Slave the other one without. Slave, or Slave To The 40, is a Swill Bastards song. (The guitarist Johny used to be in Swill Bastards.)

2008 Demo
1. 4 Years Flat
2. Neck Deep in Bullshit
3. Schitzophrenic
The band is selling mp3 downloads of these three demos on their myspace page. According to the singer JJ, the band was really unhappy with how this session turned out and went back into the studio to record what eventually became the Schitozphrenic EP. In all likelihood, there were more songs recorded during the 2008 sessions but these are the only 3 songs to be released.
If anyone has non-mp3 sourced (i.e. lossless) copies of these tracks, or anything from Swill Bastards, send me an email.
UPDATE (Jan '10): I read somewhere JJ has moved to the UK and has joined another band. Not sure what this means for Dead Heros but it can't be good.
JJ has been singing for a band called Wasted Life in England and will now be singing for Broken Bones
ReplyDeleteA belated thanks for the head's up. Wasted Life are great, both with JJ and the new guy. Worth checking out.
