2002, Tigerstyle
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-HERO thought they'd mix it up a bit, calling their friend James Bertram from Red Stars Theory (ex-Lync and Beck) to play bass. With the new line-up in place they recorded Get Here and Stay, the Whenever You See Fit EP with Modest Mouse and 'Weekends of Sound', their most critically acclaimed and best selling album to date.
Almost two years later the band is back with a brand new record entitled Nobody Knows This Is Everywhere. Produced by Phil Ek (Built to Spill, Dinosaur Jr., Unwound) this record is perhaps their most accessible and polished record to date. With James Bertram no longer in the band, they enlisted the services of Robin P (touring member of Modest Mouse) for bass. The ten tracks represented on the CD run the gamut from hook-laden rock songs to extended ballads featuring the trademark wails of Mr. Atkins.
