| A couple of years back, as a desperate attempt to escape having to go out at school lunchtimes, Ben Atkinson decided to learn the Bass guitar, so he could stay in and jam with friend and fellow music lover Chris Seymour. The line-up soon developed, with Chris Cheal and Tom Galpin joining them on the guitar and drums. From such humble beginnings, the band started getting serious, looking for gigs. They were a hit playing numerous gigs in The Pig Inn The City, The Welsh Harp, and playing a set at The World Mountainboard Freestyle Championships! Unexpectedly, Chris Cheal left, but being a band strong enough to move on, they found Jack Ogden who proved to be perfect. This new addition helped the band further define their style - a mixture of melodic metal/punk/rock. This style was also influenced by artists they enjoy listening to, such like - Reuben, Killswitch Engage, Dizzee Rascal, Skankt and Thrice. Hit by another catastrophe, Tom Galpin left, due to work commitments, but Heroes Welcome soon found a new drummer, Adam Jondelius, a "Swedish violent drummer", who blended in nicely! Heroes Welcome hope to carry on this early success in the future. http://www.heroes-welcome.tk
