764-HERO

ARTIST MAINARTIST INFORELATED ARTISTSLINKSREVIEWS

Passionate, heart-wrenching lyrics combined with an understated guitar/bass/drum sound describe 764-Hero, the emo-core trio from Seattle, Wash. Initially formed as a duo in 1995, the band started out with John Atkins on guitars, keyboard and lead vocals and Polly Johnson-Dickinson on drums and percussion. Atkins and Johnson-Dickinson had met while playing in other Seattle-area bands, Atkins in Hush Harbor and Johnson-Dickinson in Bell Jar. The band remained nameless until its first show when a friend suggested the name, 764-Hero, which is the phone n...[more]

 

 

Formed in 1995, 764-HERO began as a two piece, featuring John Atkins on guitars and Polly Johnson on drums, releasing two 7" records, the full-length Salt Sinks and Sugar Floats and the EP We're Solids in quick succession. With just two members 764-HERO were able to create a national following with their unique sound and powerful live shows. The driving guitar and drums combined with John Atkins' personal and intimate vocal style was riveting, charming and unforgettable. In 1998, 764-H   [ read more ]

"764-HERO is the perfect soundtrack for their homeland... critics often label them as a moodier, lazier Built to Spill, and that seemed somewhat accurate on Get Here and Stay. But on Weekends of Sound, the band aspires to new heights, best illustrated by their nine-minute epic, 'Left Hanging.' The track begins with quiet chimes and casual note picking, and slowly builds until a rising guitar takes over for a chorus that makes room for both poppy handclaps and Atkins' distorted larynx-thrashing." --Pitchfo   [ read more ]

764-Hero may not admit it, but all the rainy days in their hometown of Seattle have obviously gotten to them. As confident a breakup album as you'll hear, Get Here and Stay plays out like a sopping wet Sunday afternoon made for laying low. Lead man John Atkins isn't afraid to wear his heart on his sleeve, and his emotional tales of wounded love play out with added poignancy due to this openness, especially on the desolate and graceful "Calendar Pages." It doesn't hurt that his tight guitar rhyth   [ read more ]
