House of Heroes is one of the rare modern rock bands who know how to sing. Their fun, unique groove is quite contagious, with enough melody and crunch to satisfy a wide variety of rock listeners. "If" and "Lose Control" are two standout tracks, the former being a fun love song of sorts and the latter just brimming over with fun rock riffs and pace changes. Highly recommended!

The End is Just the Beginning

"After an agonizing wait from their last release, band House of Heroes brings us the next adventure entitled The End Is Not the End. It's been three years since fans have heard from these guys, but the result is an arrangement of songs ready to hold steady for another three.



The music is catchy and broad; it ranges from guitar hooks and big drum beats to acoustic rhythms and ska/punk throwbacks. While most of the album is straightforward rock, the band manages to bring in assortment of sounds and tricks incorporated within. While focusing on their musical talents, the End, has underlining themes of war and redemption. Each song seems to have it's own story to tell.



Tracks "If", "Lose Control", "Code Name: Raven", and "The Young and the Brutal" rock in the band's signature sound. The one slower ballad "By Your Side" takes a break from rocking hits and transforms into a story of brotherly love and commitment. Yet, the heavy beats like "Baby's a Red", "Journey Into Space, Part 1", and "Sooner or Later" will have you singing along and tapping your foot. Spiritual tones are somewhat hidden within most tracks, but the ones that are evident deal with feelings of redemption, loneliness, and grace. Musical comparisons come in waves in the likes of Green Day, Weezer, Relient K, or Fallout Boy.



Even though the wait was long, it's been worth it. I really enjoyed this release and fans of the band will be overjoyed; yet those just looking for a great upbeat album to rock to---this is the one. House of Heroes has brought along a collection of music worthy of heroes, some who fought bravely and others who long to capture our heart. I just hope that it doesn't take another three years for these guys to complete another release.

Easily the best of the Year

"First of all this album rocks! I listened to House of Heroes self titled and wrote it off as okay, but serious potential. I bought this album through amazon mp3 thinking that it was just another Christian album. One listen to the whole 57 minute album is all it takes to be hooked. It's everything about it: the guitar riffs, the upbeat drums, the extemely harmonizing vocals (in which all 4 of the band members have amazing voices), the topics the cover, the concept of war, there is just too many good things to say about it. Each song plays fine by itself (in particular: Valley) but they just go so well with each other. There is not one song on this album which I can say I even thought about disliking. The sole 2 "ballads" are extremely well played. "By Your Side" is definitely a tear jerker, and "Field of Daggers" has a nice edge to it. Favorite songs: "Valley of the Dying Sun", "Code Name:Raven", "Journey to Space: Part One", and "Voices". House of Heroes is setting a very high standard for the music industry, both Christian and Mainstream. You can read all the 5 star reviews you like, but the only way you'll know how awesome this album truly is, is to buy it."
