Equal parts Cream and Pearl Jam, New York City’s Social Hero is the next
generation’s answer to rock and roll, a five-piece onslaught of energy
that rips the whole way through every show they play. Now touring in
support of debut album The Famous, Social Hero’s brand of high-octane ass
kicking has forged a bold and complex sound to obliterate the limitations
of traditional rock music.
A family affair: Social Hero’s lead singer, David Lloyd, is flanked by the
Lotti brothers on guitar and bass, while Ian Lloyd of Stories/Yes/
Foreigner fame joins on background vocals. Derek Schildkraut rounds out
the troop on drums. Social Hero’s material blends influences ranging from
Led Zeppelin to Spacehog.
