IAM:YOURHERO

"As soon as i saw you guys i could see the energy and enthusiasm coming off of you."
- Jimmy Page, Led Zeppelin -

"...From the first power-chord the energy coming off of Jako Hooper, Rudi Tormey and Josh Trinnaman they immediately set the stage alight. Considering they are only in their late teens, the maturity of their sound and their accomplishment as musicians is quite staggering …and has resulted in a powerful, visceral brand of indie rock that was pretty mesmerising. As they say themselves “We’re A Live Band”. And they bloody were. Songs such as “Paranoid Distortion” demonstrate the powerhouse drumming, thumping bass and gutsy distorted guitar, all welded together by Jako’s rasping vocals. No wonder Brighton Rock hasn’t been quite the same since these young lads have been on the scene down there!"

' I've got to say how impressed I am with the quality of the tracks on there...I can't believe you guys are only 16-18! The level of songwriting, arrangements and lyrics are incredibly high for musicians of any age, let alone ones so young.'

'I think it's a good start.
Make more music'

Radio One. Gonzo (MTV2).. ..

'a primal, murky sonic youth dirge – instruments all muddied up together under mat bellamy ballad vocals – could go some way in developing the band into a dramatic proposition.'
- SOURCE MAGAZINE -..

"They have the complete package! I predict big things for this band, as they are on the right path and soon they will be considered 'heroes' of the indie rock scene! They have huge potential and I think their sound is perfect for live audiences and they have all the winning elements to make it! I can't wait to hear and see more from this band, as all their songs seem to possess the qualties to make you move, tap your foot, and shout and sing along!"

' There so young, it makes you sick doesnt it?
Screaming Free by IA:YH is such a great track, rather nice demo all round - Good stuff. '

'It wasn't so much Children In Need, as children in need of a record contract.'

Close your eyes for a moment during this song and it's hard not to imagine IAM:YOURHERO on stage. Their music has an energy that speaks of gigs to come and dancing to this tune on a good night out. Lyrically, Paranoid Distortion is littered with hidden gems too, making it well worth checking out. Screaming Free could easily become one of those songs you get into your head and end up singing randomly throughout the day 8/10...more ..
