OVERVIEW Slow Motion Heroes is an indie rock supergroup from Cork. The group came together in 2008 as a 7-piece fathering together musicians from many of Cork's independent bands of the 1990s and 2000s. The original lineup included Barry McAuliffe [Vocals], Dan Breen [Guitar & Vocals], Joe Jolley [Piano & Vocals], Jean Michel Cavallo [Drums], Noel Lynch [Bass Guitar & Vocals], Antoine Madiot [Hammond Organ & Vocals] and Diarmuid Galvin [Guitar]. Collectively, the band could boast playing with the likes of Rulers Of The Planet, Painting By Numbers, Cyclefly [R]evolution Of A Sun, Freezer Room and Hope Is Noise. Diarmuid subsequently left the group. The the collective's history is largely the hardcore and rock genre, Slow Motion Heroes sound is far more melodic and mellow in nature. The band made its recorded debut in 2011. SMH released a pair of EPs - 'Pop' in June and 'Not Pop' a couple of months later in October. The first EP included the excellent 'Why Do We Have To Get Along'. The two EPs were gathered together on a CD release which was sold at the bands concerts. Building on the momentum which it had built, the band released a new single, 'Paper Over Cracks' in March 2012. 2011 - Release of 'Pop' EP [04 June] - Release of 'Half Moon Live 2011' promo EP - Release of 'Not Pop' EP [08 October] 2012 - Release of 'Paper Over Cracks' single [16 March]
