First Glance: Underground Heroes

Underground Heroes. This isn’t as such a first glance, but one of many stares. They aren’t nothing particularly new in music, but they give off such a raw energy at their gigs, that they are impossible to ignore. They are just about to embark on a may tour and have just come off the back off performing ‘Skinny Twins’ on the BBC3 show Lily Allen and Friends.


Influenced by their heroes The Specials, The Jam and The Clash, they are the sound of booze-sodden, crap fag smoking, cheap drug taking, concrete Britain. Lyrically they are inspired by the day to day life they know - the fights, night life, friends, birds - and the identikit town they live in.
