genre: Hardcore / Crust Punk / Sludge

His Hero is Gone was a crust punk band from Memphis, Tennessee. Formed in 1995 from members of Copout, Man With Guns Lives Here and Face Down, they disbanded in 1999, playing their last show in Memphis. They toured the U.S. extensively several times, as well as Europe and Japan. They released three albums: 15 Counts of Arson, Monuments to Thieves and The Plot Sickens, a limited edition of 1,000 Split LP with demo tracks of then-new guitarist Yannick's previous, and by then defunct, band Union Of Uranus from Canada, and two 7" EPs The Dead of Night in Eight Movements and Fool's Gold as well as a 1995 Demo tape. Simultaenously or afterwards band members played in the bands Deathreat, Call The Police, Dimilaia, Warcry, Union of Uranus and more. The Core of the band Todd, Paul, Yannick went on to form the more traditional d-beat HC band Tragedy. Characterized by crushing guitars, anti-consumerist lyrics along with other social commentary, the band and related projects have remained under the radar by refusing to promote themselves via websites, or larger music labels.
