Description
A new rock band comprised of four 13 and 14 year old boys who are rapidly closing the generation gap between classic rock and new school rock. They have a musical style that is reminiscent of early Rolling Stones and The Kinks, fused with a modern day Jet, and the vocals of a seasoned veteran. The Comic Book Heroes deliver a musical performance that significantly surpasses their age.
