The guys in Heroes for Popular Wars describe themselves as two musicians, a video artist and a MFA candidate at Pratt, who live in Brooklyn, trying to make gauzy but hooky, electro-acoustic music. We improv a lot with computers, mix choruses with dance-y beats, use found sound collages and processed-to-the-hilt guitars and try to use volume and noise as well as notes to move people.” Oh post-modernism, where did we go wrong? Still, I’m digging their sound and this video is pretty cool in a lo-fi sort of way.

You’re way off Jeff. We’re pre-post/post modern. Our music is firmly rooted in the music of the last 20 minutes of post modernism, right before it gives way to post/post modernism. It’s quite a difference, I’m surprised you didn’t hear it.
