Biography Standing out among today’s crowed rock scene are Reading, PA’s Comic Book Heroes, four 17 yr old guys and long time friends with a sound as solid as any one of today’s more mature rock bands. After playing together for more than five years now (yes, they were 11 when they formed the band), and with hundreds of shows from coast to coast under their belts, this hard working suburban teen rock band is setting themselves apart from all the others with a performance and chemistry that significantly surpasses their age. Comic Book Heroes have already created an underground buzz and reputation for making real time music that goes the distance. Their music is guitar driven, alternative rock with strong hooks and mature vocals; their sound is rooted in classic rock, the common denominator amongst the band members. Mix in their modern day musical tastes with some teen angst and what you get is authentic rock for today’s generation, unlike any teen band that you have heard before and impossible to ignore. The band was a Radio Disney "Next Big Thing" top ranking artist with their single "Catch Me If You Can" on the Top 15 charts for months. They were also featured on iTunes as the 'Discovery Download of the Week' garnering more than 160,000 downloads of their song. Their music has been featured on ESPN, NASCAR and others and their music video on FUSE TV and Disney XD channel. This past summer the band played gigs ranging from Vans Warped to Radio Disney concerts. They also performed a showcase at CMJ and sat on a CMJ panel about P.R.O's we're they chose to affliate with SESAC. They've been featured on AOL, Gibson, Popstar! Magazine, Just Jared, Jr., AP.net the NY Post and many others. Their newest self-released EP/CD 'Take A Seat' is available on iTunes. -------------------------------- WHAT THEY’RE SAYING… " Not only are they a little less pop and a little more rock, but they have a sense of confidence and originality that has since been missing from the recent pop stars.." - NY Post (Popwrap) April 2009 "If the Jonas Brothers are The Beatles, Comic Book Heroes are the Rolling Stones.." - Pop Culture Madness - March 2009 "..Musical cohesiveness and vocal arrangements that just screams solid rock n'roll .."

These guys friggin rock!" – --Jersey Beat, Oct. 2008 "When hearing them play, it's hard to remember that they're just 16. It’s easy to see that these kids have talent." --CMJ Staff Blog, Oct. 2008 "These guys really pump out rock and roll that is more authentic and engaging than people 5-10 years their senior.
