Bands from Vermont typically get lumped into a certain category. However in the past several years there has been a strong undercurrent of hard-hitting bands hailing from Vermont. When Heroes Die strives to be the future of the Burlington rock scene.



All of the members of When Heroes Die have been playing music for several years and in the winter of 2005 they found themselves playing music together. After a few lineup changes and trying out different people in the role of “lead guitar” When Heroes Die found that they were just as strong as a three piece and opted to stay that way after the departure of most recent guitar player Jason Couture.



“It’s the best lineup we could hope for,” says Justin, When Heroes Die singer and bassist. Justin shares the role of songwriter with guitarist Keith and finds that the two are definitely on the same page. “Every time I come up with a basic idea for a song he adds his touch to it and makes it that much better,” adds Justin.



Jeff Hutchinson brings years of experience behind the drums and proves to be well rounded and a master of the “hard hitting feel” that When Heroes Die bring to their music. With Justin and Jeff as the rhythm section of the band it becomes obvious that the two have played together for many years. “Every band that’s been important to both of us has had the other in it,” says Jeff of the years playing together.



Now as 2007 begins, When Heroes Die look to the future where they will continue to create music that they love, with the hopes that others will like it too.
