Who said pop punk is dead? Well, judging by the crowd at 9pm last Friday at the Oxford Art Factory it was certainly critical. A small crowd had entered by the time the first band packed away their gear and Breakaway had set up. I guess it's not that cool to show up early to a punk gig.

After a successful run of gigs on this year's Soundwave Festival tour, Heroes For Hire are going to be out on the road with their own headlining gigs throughout June and July. With special guests Luca Brasi and Carry Me Home the five piece will be touring their new singles "Heart Stops" and "Set In Stone", as well as their classics to crowds all over on this, their most extensive run of dates yet.
