About
With seven band members feeding into the mix The Hero Cycle create a joyously large, textured sound coupled with complex arrangements to produce a feel that is at once spontaneous and measured. The band possess that magic combination of sound and song, pooling all the ingredients of shoegaze rock and indie pop and distilling them into undeniably catchy and driving tunes.
"The most exciting release I've heard in a long while is the debut EP by Burlington, Vermont's The Hero Cycle. I cannot say enough good things about their sound. They feel like an amalgamation of all of my favourite bands: Broken Social Scene, Arcade Fire, Sonic Youth, Built To Spill, Stars, etc.... The first track, "Breathing In", is explosive and contagious. You will feel compelled to hit repeat as soon as it's done, but I suggest you suppress that urge for now because the next song "Lover's Crime" is just as infectious. The final track, "You Vs Them" is completely epic in proportion.....With the right promotion they are going to be the next big thing and you'll definitely want to jump on this one nice and early." - Review Excerpt from "It's Not The Band I Hate, It's Their Fans"
The Hero Cycle began in the Green Mountains of Vermont in 2005, combining the varied talents of drummer John Gorman, synthist Tom Kelly, and guitarists Mike Prall and Frank Smecker (ex-Drowningman and ex-Escapist). Soon after, the band quickly grew, including fellow Burlington residents Hannah Wall (Magogs) on keyboards, Shawn Flanagan (Fire the Cannons and ex-Starlight Conspiracy) on bass, and third guitarist Adam Fuller (The Year's Best).
