Artist History Social Hero was sparked as a side project from thehard rock band Electric Circus. The singer and guitaristDave Lloyd and bassist Brandon Lotti hooked up withDavid Burgreen on drums to form a punchy, energetictrio. Burgreen soon left to pursue his own musicalaspirations, and was soon replaced by Mr. HomerSteinweiss. Homer brought a good deal of funkinfluence to Social Hero, and it is generally agreed that he was the missing piece to the SocialHero puzzle. Now armed with songs having catchyvocal lines, racy guitar licks, pumping basslines,and Homer's phat beats, Social Hero is releasing their self-titled debut. Check out "Breathe," ourfirst single.
