There aren’t and haven’t been too many bands that have come from the great state of Arkansas, but one band looks to change that.

Even Heroes is:
Nathan Schroyer – Vocals
Bruce Curtis – Guitar
Tom Doss – Guitar
Billy Law – Bass
Matt Chapko – Drums

Even Heroes has played with the likes of 12 Stones and (as of this post) will be playing with new Jive Records artists Atom Smash. The band has drawn immediate comparisons to Alter Bridge. This is likely in part due to the soaring Myles Kennedy-esque vocals of Nathan Schroyer. One thing is clear when you’re listening to this collection of songs…he’s got pipes.

This album may not have the shiniest of production, but the talent is obviously there. The sound of the record in general reminds me of Alter Bridge’s One Day Remains. Songs such as “Cherish the Rain” and “The In Between” have an epic quality to it without being simply long and drawn out and the latter is a perfect singalong tune.

However, my favorite track is the track that introduced me to this band some time ago called “The Highway”. It is the anti-hero of the record. It proceeds to beat you over the head and steal your lunch money. It is a head-banger and a half from the riff, to the heavier beat, to Schroyer’s vocals once again.

Even Heroes had better be continued after this superb effort. I want to see them continue their quest to the hard rock throne. They may very well just get there.
