The Town Heroes: A two piece, alternative rock band consisting of Guitar + Drums. Energetic, skinny, Cape Bretonian marsupials with grey furry ears and coats; feeds on burgers, KD, toast and PB and J. Songs: an honest approach to the trials and tribulations of life, taking into consideration small town values, coming of age, intriguing people encountered, friendship, hope and the various conflicts that arise from a jobless island and its steady outflow of people.

Although minimalist in terms of numbers, their sound is anything but that. Self described as “The most noise two Cape Bretoners can make”, that noise is a cascade or passion, urgency and belief in their songs.

The Town Heroes first CD, ‘This Way’, has received radio play across the Maritimes and a top five appearance on the East Coast Countdown.

After playing constantly throughout Nova Scotia for the last year, garnering accolades for their passionate, energetic live show, TTH released their second recording, 'Birds and Fear' in, May of 2010. A cross Canada tour is set to follow in the summer of ’10.

Note:
The Town Heroes are not "Town Heroes" or claiming to be heroes of any sort. The Town Heroes are paying homage to the small town, typically nicknamed, legends who have been a part of extraordinary or overly un-extraordinary events in their lives.
