Artist
Here Lies the Hero are a post-hardcore band from Texas. They started with their current lineup in 2009 and have been developing their unique style ever since. In 09' vocalist Aaron Chaney approached guitarist/vocalist Jaxon Moore about starting a band. The two started writing together and soon recruited drummer Brandon Swilling (formerly of Outcry and Snowy Evans), guitarist Tyler Washington, and vocalist Andrew Bernal. Because of musical differences Andrew and Tyler left shortly thereafter but left the name Washington had given the band, Here Lies the Hero. Soon afterwards, the band found fill-in bassist Dustin Cernoch, and fill-in guitarist Tanner Battenfield. They played their first show with this lineup Halloween 2009. The next day drummer Brandon Swilling left the band to pursue his career and Moore and Chaney decided to scrap the material and start fresh with a new sound. Early 2010, Chaney came across drummer Dylan Koen at his church and asked him to come rehearse with them due to his unique and seasoned playing style. It was decided that Koen would be the official drummer for the new Here Lies the Hero. Following the arrival of Koen, Chaney found guitarist Keaton Giacobbe at a friend's house and invited him to rehearse with them. The newly formed band wrote their first song, "I'll Forget Your Face, If You'll Forget Mine", an anthem against two-faced friends, and soon traveled to Plano, Texas to record with Producer Bryan David. Chaney wrote and recorded the bass track
