“Much modern alternative rock crosses the line into nu-metal territory. In fact, it’s often hard to find a dividing line between the two genres. The Saint Louis based band Something Heroic have managed to build a unique and effective identity in that musical territory. In fact, their sound is more successful than a lot of the bigger bands in the alternative rock field. Much of that effectiveness springs from the difficult balance between consistency and variety. Something Heroic has produced a nearly perfect slab of alternative hard rock. It shows the group to be talented. In fact, in a “fair world,” these guys would be among the biggest acts of the genre. They stand tall amongst the field of competition........Something Heroic has produced a nearly perfect slab of alternative hard rock. It shows the group to be talented.

Bio
Something Heroic is not your everyday typical rock band. Hailing out of St. Louis, MO they are known not only for their unique brand of Alternative Rock, but also for the amount of energy they put into their live performances.
Something Heroic was formed when drummer Ryne Woodsmall and bassist Brett Hawkins (formally of the band Future Leaders of Yesterday) reunited and began to write music again. They quickly enlisted long-time friend Eric Polk as their singer/front man and local musician Yury Yershov as their guitarist. Within a few months they started booking gigs. With every show the band played, their fan base grew and more gigs were offered as a result. After a few months of live performances, they decided to expand their sound and added a second guitarist, Taylor Ledyard, to their lineup. In December 2010 they began to record their debut album “Choose Your Sides,” which was released in the summer 2011.
The charisma and power put into Something Heroic’s live show never fails to draw in crowds of crazy, energetic fans. The band has shared the stage with national recording artists such as Soletta, Vanittica, Future Leaders of the World, and Quarterfly.
