Underground Heroes

Chatham born n bred, my mates the Underground Heroes are gonna be big. This Summer they've been the residents at the Ibiza Rocks Hotel, tearing it up every night for the 'Ibeefan' crowds. They are top blokes, only young, best mates with the View, been in the NME, been on an NME CD, been on Lily Allen & Friends and now they've got their first release . .. Skinny Twins, a song about another two top blokes, their roadies/techies Mink n Bird.

They hail from my great hometown of Chatham, yes, where the word chav comes from. Their local, the TapnTin (infamous comeback gig venue for the Libertines), their genre . . . hard to define. Best way of putting it is indie-chav/punk/ska.
They're set to be big, you have to see them live, people love it.

"The Jam if they'd read the Razzle instead of books on politics" - NME

"Million miles an hour cocky-yet-witty-with-it-lad-punk - in the best possible way" NME

p.s. their Jamie Reid-esque logo is something to be admired too.
