Rogue Heroes

Critical praise for The King is Dead!



Francis DiMenno- The Noise - Summer 2008 Edition



I still can’t help but admire the perseverance of vision that lies behind the sort of band who would essay this style. On occasion, as on “One More Round for the Road” they serve up a memorable slice of teen angst, and on “Real Good Old Boys Don’t Die,” they venture beyond mere genre pimping into something—dare it say it?—inspired.



-Northeast Performer April 2008

"Allston’s The Rogue Heroes are one of a select few punk bands that have willingly ventured into new territory, seamlessly blending influences ranging from 50s rockabilly to funk and of course, 70s punk a la early Clash.



Jose Vela - Delusions of Adequacy January 2008

Rogue Heroes sure know how to write addicting hooks. Songs like "My Name is Jones" and "Real Good Old Boys Don't Lie" are prime examples of their swagger inducing rock n' roll attitude. From "Song" to "One More Round for the Road" these closers are ballads if I ever heard any.



-Live Review from Sell out @ the Paradise - Boston Globe 1/22/08



"Rogue Heroes gave the evening a stylistic shift, drawing from the post-punk new wave and focusing nerviness and clipped, driving drumbeats into angsty power-trio rock. With members of Cassavettes dancing like good-natured idiots behind them, they provided a totally different (if neatly complementary) energy to the evening, especially on the Dropkick Murphys-like 'Good Old Boys Don't Die.'"
