The Heshers - "EP2008"

Hesher - (noun) he-sher: a slang term used in the rock scene for those who have long raggedy hair, and look "grunge"-like.
- From the bio of The Heshers.

The Heshers - (band) he-shers: A three piece rock band from NJ, that are pure, raw rock and roll!
- Lazlo's definition

On The Heshers new 9 song CD, "EP2008", they showcase their blend of punk, garage, power-pop, classic rock & metal, in to what I think of as anthems for outcasts. Songs with lyrics like, "this is who I am, this is who I'll be, I am an individual, I'll always be free from you" ("individual"), and catchy riffs that should make even the most jaded person who swears that rock is dead take notice.

What's most refreshing about The Heshers, is that they're not trying to be something they're not. So many bands feel like they have to reinvent rock, but there is nothing wrong with wanting to be a raw, high energy rock & roll band. That's what The Heshers are.

Now excuse me while I go crank "EP2008" and rock out!
