2009, self-released
This Frontier Needs Heroes is the American Folk duo of brother and sister Brad and Jessica Lauretti from Brooklyn NY.
Formed in 2007, when Brad's band broke up, his sister Jessica suggested that she play drums for him. He told her she wasn't good enough. So she learned how to play tambourine, harmonica, ukulele, harp, and sing! Stripped down, lyrically driven, and influenced by the whole American catalog from Soul to Country, The Heroes outlaw revolutionary style is social commentary and an emotional blueprint for navigating through these wild times!
"Arresting local neofolk duo This Frontier Needs Heroes combines spare, literate songs in a Neil Young vein with hints of homegrown psychedelia." - Time Out NY
