Here’s what some media-types have had to say about the Heroes:
Songs about superheroes can be either mega-nerdy (think “In The Garage” by Weezer) or painfully hip (referencing Suicide’s “Ghost Rider” in front of pretty much any aging punk-rock dude can earn you a free beer), but The Wednesday Heroes aren’t just dabblers in the genre: Their entire catalog, from “Invisible Girl” to “The Mask I Left Behind,” is superhero-inspired. Purchase a copy of their debut EP, Slight Advantage, from iTunes and memorize the lyrics to “Going Rogue,” “Captain, My Captain,” and “Something Kinda Vertigo,” and you can impress both your fellow nerds and any stray indie-rockers by proving that you got there before they did.
They don’t wear leather pants and lick microphones. Panties aren’t flung onstage during their sets and they (almost never) trash their hotel rooms. Wednesday Heroes aren’t your typical Rock Gods.
Made up of Jerrod Begora, Greg Johnson, and PT Hylton, Wednesday Heroes is the Midwest’s supreme comic book rock band. Their songs are clever, catchy, and all sorts of geeky-cool fun. ‘Captain, My Captain’ is a memorable ditty about Captain America and his legendary battles against Nazis and Communists. ‘The Ballad of a Bland Hero’ is a slow, make-out jam about the much lamer (at least compared to Wolverine) Cyclops. They even have a hilarious music video (complete with a sexy hot tub scene) to accompany their pop song ‘Invisible Girl’ which outlines the trials and tribulations of dating, you guessed it, the Invisible Girl.
