THE HERO & THE VICTOR (THATV) is an American post Punk/Indie/Rock band out of Santa Barbara, California formed in 2001. THATV have been making unique music, which they can only describe as honest, expressive, no-rules rock. Originally named after a description of Salvador Dali's paintings; the band took the phrase and coined it as their own reflection about how one should address the moral dilemma between doing what is right versus just getting ahead. One could strive to be both the Hero and the Victor. For over five years, they have played to accepting audiences all over California with notable peers. The Hero And The Victor have recently returned from their first tour of Japan and are planning a West Coast tour for Summer 08. Filled with creatively brutal, sonic sound-scapes and sensitive melodic tunes, THE HERO & THE VICTOR engulf you in a musical ambiance that captivates and commands attention. The band has self-released two recordings to critical acclaim: Snapshots from a Warehouse, and The Villainy of the Ordinary. With The Villainy of the Ordinary, THATV grew sharper and more focused than ever before, with a sound that continues to find new ears and turn heads. THE HERO & THE VICTOR are effortlessly continuing their trajectory forward having written and recorded their third self-titled release. The newest record hit Japan in Spring 07 and is being released domestically October, 25, 2007. User-contributed text is available under the Creative Commons By-SA License; ad
