We have never described ourselves as a covers band. We enjoy the creative process and the satisfaction that only writing our own material can give us. However, realistically we are a relatively new band and we understand that most venues don’t really want to listen to original material, so we have embarked upon a new album of cover versions of some of our favourite songs from the 60’s, 70’s 80’s 90’s and even the 00’s!
There were only three criterions that we have stuck to throughout the process
So the idea is that a venue will listen to the album, enjoy it and offer us a night to play it.
Skill! Vol 1 is available to download for free from this website

Local Pop Hero is a three-piece rock act from Woking, England with punk influences and an original feel. The group’s self-titled album is a fun foray into Euro rock with upbeat tracks such as “Executive Stress Toy” and meaningful melodies in songs including “You Make Me Feel Guilty.” The title track is sure to be an anthem for fans of Local Pop Hero and deserves to be played loud through the speakers or in the front row of an upcoming show. Clever lyrics and jazzy instrumentals will appeal to listeners of such rock acts like Elvis Costello and early Foo Fighters.

Local Pop Hero see themselves as first and foremost an original songs band as opposed to a covers band. Our album is all original we are geared towards that, But we are aware that certain venues won’t necessarily want original material, so we have learnt a fair few covers that we can add to our live performances. We like to think that we have taken these songs and put our own spin on them. We will be releasing an album of these covers soon. Watch this space.
