Hell Is For Heroes

This UK post hardcore rock band was formed in London, England, in 2000 by Will McGonagle (guitar) and Joe Birch (drums) following the dissolution of their former band, the heavily hyped but under performing Symposium.

Joined by Justin Schlosberg (vocals), Tom O’Donohue (guitar), and James Finlay (bass), the quintet took their name from a 1962 war movie starring Steve McQueen.

They released the limited edition double a-side ‘Sick/Happy’/‘Cut Down’ through Superior Quality Recordings in June 2001, and shortly afterwards signed a major label recording contract with Chrysalis Records.
