Dead Heroes Club

Dead Heroes Club
An Irish Progressive Rock Band? Surely Not!
Almost certainly Ireland's only progressive rock band, DEAD HEROES CLUB offer us 21st century prog-rock. The band wear their influences firmly on their sleeve and yet manage to achieve an original and inventive approach to their music. The self-titled debut album contains all original songs that range from the unashamed progressive rock leanings of A Day In The Life Of The World and the moving acoustic charm of Sunrise On the Trenches to the sheer musical power of Falling From Grace and the epic A Secret Never To Be Told .

There are multiple artists under this name: 1) U.K. were a short-lived British progressive rock supergroup active from 1977 through 1980. In September 1976, singer/bassist John Wetton formerly of the British Psychedelic band Family (with Roger Chapman and Rick Grech) and drummer Bill Bruford, both alumni of King Crimson, worked on forming a band with Yes keyboardist Rick Wakeman. The project was stopped by Wakeman's label. According to Bruford, "A&M Records were unwilling to let their 'star,' Wakeman, walk off with a used, slightly soiled King Crimson rhythm section, and the idea failed."
