EXCERPT
"Tension was running rampant through the entire room. People were complaining why they didn't stay home and watch Twilight! But with such a disgruntled crowd to please, it was only fit that Sexy Heroes was up to play next.
Front man Chris Watts joked with the crowd on various subjects such as dating, texting, and Luigi as his band mates got prepared. With wild spiky hair to match his wild demeanor, Mr. Watts and company kicked off their night with fan favorites such as "Bad Touch," "Jurassic Punk," and "Pirates!"
Guitarist Nick Everett was more electric than his yellow shirt, doing moves with his Les Paul. The band members got into the faces of everyone in the front, and Mr Watts changed facial expression to suit every occasion. He even walked through the crowd with his bass guitar in hand." - Rockland Paper

Bio
When the music world is changing so drastically, the primary focus should be on innovation and originality. Sadly, this is not the case. Sexy Heroes, however, is a group that has created their own unique style blending melodic punk, with funk, rock, and ska.
Sexy Heroes are in a transitional phase right now, and exploring different styles of music, and possibly even a name change this year.
In a few years and multiple line up changes, the three core members have written and recorded two full length albums and two EP's which are currently in rotation on Seton Hall's WSOU Radio Station (voted the nation's #1 college radio).
Sexy Heroes have won almost every competition they've entered, including many battle of the bands, and The Break Contest for a Main Stage spot at the Bamboozle Festival.
This energetic and engaging live act grabs listeners from the first song, turning skeptics into followers. Their stage presence sets them apart from the norm, and is the reason they have shared the stage with many national touring acts and performed at many notable venues and festivals. These artists include The Bloodhound Gang, New Found Glory, Fall Out Boy, Bayside, The Aquabats, Bowling For Soup, Streetlight Manifesto, Catch 22, and Big D and The Kids Table.
With influences ranging from NOFX to Queen, from Showtunes to Punk, its easy to see why Sexy Heroes appeal to all generations. Since their second album Penguin Airlines, which independently sold over 1,000 copies in it's first week, Sexy Heroes have been widening their musical palette and are constantly evolving their sound.
