764-HERO

We’re Solids

Suicide Squeeze/Up

This band is a study in subtlety and camouflage. Able to blend in with the most innocuous environments, 764-HERO quickly become background guitar noise that nonetheless is stealthily sinking its hooks into your dura mater. I haven’t heard blasts of six-string terror of this intensity since the early Pixies. A band populating its own strange orbit, 764-HERO are immediately recognizable and impossible to categorize – think of what the discordant elements of mid ’80s Boston brought up to date would sound like.
