The pretty pink cover of the promo CD belies the dark nature of Hell Is For Heroes’ strident new single ‘Models For The Programme’.

One has to assume that the lyrical content is dark because it’s so damn hard to hear what front man Justin Schlosberg is wailing about. Something ails him that we can be sure of, indeed, when the opening line is - and this correspondent had to check at least three of four times - ‘Taste of mercury / needles in your eyes’ something is, clearly, up.

What that ‘something’ is one can only guess and perhaps one day HIFH might like to share with us what the chuffing heck this song is about. Musically though, ‘Models...’, taken from forthcoming new album 'Transmit Disrupt', is, as ever, a breathlessly energetic offering from a revitalised Hell Is For Heroes.

I'll reserve judgement for tomorrow night at Leeds met

Hell Is For Heroes - Models For The Programme

Saw them on Saturday at the UEA in Norwich (probably for about the 10-11th time) and they have definitely 'matured' musically. Still one of my favourite bands, so I guess i'm a bit biased, but I have some of the new material on CD and it's very good.
Biffy Clyro were on top form (probably the best I have seen them, again, out of about 12 gigs), and the hour long snowball fight outside the UEA after the gig just about topped off one of the best gigs ever for me.
