About the Artist
When Mission of Burma booked its February 2003 show in Atlanta, guitarist Roger Miller specifically requested that Athens band Heros Severum be included on the bill. What did Roger Miller know about Heros Severum that seemingly few others apparently knew? Probably the same thing that former Jawbox/Burning Airlines leader J. Robbins knew. Following a show in late 2001 where Heros Severum opened for Burning Airlines, Robbins decided he wanted to produce the band’s debut release. Heros Severum is a quirky little number. They can be loud and jagged, but melodic and catchy. They shout, speak, sing and clap our hands. They stop and start and start. They stomp our feet. Always without the bass - well almost. Just listen to that KICK DRUM! Shellac? Minutemen? Missy Elliott? Nah, but you’re close. Heros Severum is Eric Friar, Sherryl Branch and Davey Staton.
