KNOCK-DOWN DRAG-OUTS album and TOUR!!!
Well, today is a special day. Since we signed a record deal with Gotee Records in 2004, we have had the privilege of releasing 4 full length records (S/T, The End is Not the End, Suburba, and Cold Hard Want). We have also released several EPs, singles, exclusive tracks, etc. in the down time between full lengths. We compiled all of those together and released them along with 3 BRAND NEW Cold...

MORE SHOWS & NEW MUSIC!
Hey guys! Things have been pretty busy for House of Heroes these past few months. After a few months off from playing shows, we have been back at it these past few months. Last months Five Iron Frenzy shows were especially memorable! It’s always special to play with one of the bands that inspired you to start playing music in the first place.
We have a bunch of shows coming up this...
endlesssummerohio asked: Hey, are you guys playing Alive Festival this summer? I've already decided that the only way I'm going is if you guys show up. Don't let that pressure you, or totally let that pressure you.

Let's have a discussion!
KickStarter.
From my experience, the very mention of KickStarter elicits a strong response. Some folks hate it with a burning passion, while others love the idea of helping out their favorite projects. I’ve seen bands do it right, and I’ve seen bands take advantage of zealous fans and charge WAY too much for a signed CD/Vinyl and the like. I’ve heard arguments on both sides...
Anonymous asked: Since you're going independent, are you going the Classic Crime route and taking to KickStarter?
Anonymous asked: If and when you stop by Texas, you should try to play at Baylor University! :) I love your music by the way and I've been a secret fan for a while. Your music is truly inspired. :)
Anonymous asked: Guys, please won't you forget about us? Flevo festival has been taken from us because of financial problems, so we're in need of these independent shows like you did with abandon in Utrecht even more! the new tunes rock so bad guys, thanks more than I can put down on paper. gr, fan from holland.
Welcome to 2013! Let's have some fun!
So this is the new year??? And I feel quite a bit different ;) Slight adjustment to one of the best Death Cab songs EVER! From us, to you.
It’s 2013 folks! I hope that you are all well as you read this. It’s been a while since we’ve reached out to you guys and caught up. House of Heroes has been taking it pretty easy these past few months and it’s been pretty great...

romanticmachines asked: Question: In an interview, you said you went into Smoakstack the first day to record what you thought was going to be a super poppy, catchy song, and when you were listening back, you realized, "Wow, this is going to be our heaviest album ever!" Was that first song "Touch This Light"?

We packed up our gear and had a little road trip to Atlanta last week to film our first music video for Cold Hard Want with our old buddy Nathan Corrona (DustBrand Films) who did our video for God Save the Foolish Kings.

Hey guys! We just wrapped up mixing the new record last night, and it is absolutely ridiculous!!! Unfortunately, now is the time where we get all of our ducks in a row before releasing it, so we’re a little ways off from actually getting it in your hands.

MONDAY, DEC. 12
We wasted no time getting to work today. Everyone arrived at Smoakstack Studio by 10am and we hit the ground running. I personally didn’t sleep a whole lot the night before because I have that little kid on Christmas eve thing going on every time we start a new House of Heroes project.
The studio is quite spacious which affords us some pretty cool and unique...

shari891 asked: So who updates your tour information on your website, facebook and myspace? I see you're booked at the Firebird in STL on 5/12, but I'm hesitant to do the happy dance until it's confirmed on one of your sites. (Actually I'm always hesitant to do the happy dance for any reason...'cuz it ain't pretty.)
