Shop Front Heroes are a five piece rock outfit hailing from the Herefordshire/Wales borderlands.

The band take in musical influences from right across the rock style including Queen, Nirvana and Blur and say their mission is to save the genre.

The band also pride themselves on where they come from; Frontman and songwriter Stevie Yeomans also teaches singing at the school he went to as a youngster and hosts various open mics in the area.

鈥淎bsolutely smashed it with a raw energy and passion leaving the audience transfixed" - Andrew Marston.
