WOWEE it's been another long time since one of these updates ! Just popping by to let you guys know what the crack is and what's happening with us lately :)
As you should probably know by now, we have sorted our guitarist situation with the help of our newest member Gaz and are well back on track, which is great news for us because we were getting lazy and we missed playing shows and watching Ant jump around and being fat all the time. We've written a few new songs which will be on our upcoming EP which we are currently in the process of recording, so pop down to a show and check em out !
In other news, we will have LOTS of new things coming your way in the next few weeks, including a brand new myspace, new songs, videos, website, merchandise and more ! We will also be having a competition to win some merchandise in the weeks ahead so keep your eyes peeled ;).
And that's about it for now ! if you've got the time and money you should totally come check us out at The Retro Bar in manchester tonight with the awesome Yes Sensei and Smudge, doors are at 6 so be there early !
Peace out :)

It's been a very long time since our last update so I thought I'd check in and let all you funkateers know what's goin down !
We've had a major rollercoaster ride of a time recently. Peahead has moved back to America leaving us without a lead guitarist for a VERY long time. BUT NOT TO FEAR ! We've now filled his shoes and have been writing some new tunes for you guys and we'll be back on the circuit in no time. We've got some big big plans !
Expect another update soon, with new tunes on the page, a full new layout and some tubby new pictures of our sexy new guitarist ;)
Peace !xx

Finally ! We almost have our EP up and ready ! We have 2 tracks from it up at the moment, a newly recorded one called "Buried Treasure !" and an old favourite, "My Own Worst Enemy" for you guys to hear. The full EP is now available to digitally download for £4 sterling from T83 media, all you have to do is click the button on our page and you can pay with paypal or through google checkout ! It will also very soon be available on iTunes in the UK, USA, Canada and Japan and also on the Limewire store, Rhapsody, emusic and MORE ! In the next couple of months expect to see it in stores around the world, and we have every intention in making a music video very soon, so keep your eyes peeled !
On a more sad note, our lead guitarist Peahead will be moving back to America in November, which means we are now on the lookout for a new lead guitarist ! See our blog for details, if you can help us out then we'll sort you out with an audition and get the ball rolling !br>
That's all for now ladies and gents, we'll keep you posted !

Yello ! We've just come back from our mini-tour, and we've had an absolute beast of a time ! Unfortunately, our lead guitarist Peahead couldn't make it so we had to struggle on without him, leading to some disastrous consequences. Unfortunately for you Swansea kids, we didn't have time to sort anything out whatsoever, so we are very sorry to any of you reading this who saw us then, because it was so shit it was embarassing. Big thanks to Throwing Paper Aeroplanes on Thursday in Plymouth for making it funny and sexy and making us feel a shitloads better, and an even BIGGER thanks to The Vegas Getaway for both Plymouth and Scunthorpe; they made the trip totally worthwhile ! Check out the pics on our page, we've got memories galore ! Watch out for new tracks comeing VERY soon, we promise !

We've just finished the recording of our EP, titled "8 letters, 3 words, 1 meaning" and we're totally stoked for it ! We've spent the past week in our secret hideaway with the amazing Jay from Pendleton working our arses off until the early hours of the morning to get it sounding absolutely amazing and we can't wait for you guys to hear what we've got. It should be available online and at our shows within the next couple of months so keep your eyes peeled for more ifo on that one.
We're currently in the process of booking as many shows as we can until the end of the year and getting ourselves out an about, so keep checking back to see if we're playing near you any time soon, we'd love to hang out with all you guys !

"I love MyNameIsHero, I bought their CD with real money and everything"
- Aled Phillips, Kids In Glass Houses
"aw dude, so sweet, totally dancing to this shit"
- Joe Weiss, Four Year Strong
"."My Own Worst Enemy" is a great track!
Brimming with original melodies and raw energy. The track's driving momentum doesn't let up and grabs the listener by the scruff of the neck. (I also love the use of the cheeky pop synth in amongst those rock fuelled guitar shreds!)"
- Matchbox Recordings
"I kinda love you guys.your songs are VERY good.all in all your a great little band.you have the edge."
- Tetley - Cave Records
"You don't need to listen to more that 10 seconds of any MNIH song to realise this band has enormous potential. Catchy lyrics, sung in a way that just reaches out and grabs the attention of anyone around and stomping guitar riffs that will have you up and jumping around in no time. Definitely a band to watch out for!"
- Switchoff Promotions
"MYNAMEISHERO are top quality manchester pop-punk at it's finest. With their catchy guitar riffs, and powerful vocals, there a sure hit. Watch out for these guys, there getting bigger by the day, and i'm sure it won't be long, untill you see them playing huge festivals, or headlining manchesters Academy 1, or at the least supporting big acts. Top Notch Stuff"
