Colorado is about to be put back on the map as the hotbed for incredible new music. Accidental Superhero has emerged from their basement studio in Colorado Springs armed with an album to be reckoned with.
Accidental Superhero formed in 1995. Strong songwriting and an ear for modern appeal helped inspire their pop rock sound. By 1996, the band had quickly progressed, creating a two-hour original show, and amassing thousands of Colorado fans. In 1997, A.S. continued to gain momentum, playing at popular venues all over the Rocky Mountain region.
In early 1998, after a few recordings at area studios, Accidental Superhero sought to capture their evolutionary sound in a project that represented the full scope of their musical sensibilities. With this in mind, the band built an independent studio, and began to record their debut album. Nine months later, their first CD Everyman was released. A.S. started a four month tour that took them across the United States where they headlined at the Idaho State Pavilion for an audience of 2,500, and finished up with sold out shows at the Whisky A Go-Go and the House of Blues in Los Angeles. Their mailing list swelled to over 100,000 names as they sold 10,000 copies of Everyman.
Throughout 1999 and 2000, A.S. continued to release songs independently. Their hit single, "Take My Hand" earned national airplay on top-40 commercial radio. In early 2000, two songs from Everyman were used in the full-length movie preview for "All The Pretty Horses".
In 2001, with a desire for a different style of production, the band set out in a new direction. A.S. redefined their song -writing, and crafted new cuts by using loops and samples. The foursome brought a new rawness and intensity to the table - vital to the fulfillment of their new vision. After several months in the studio creating a fresh sound based on hip-hop grooves and soaring melodies, that vision has come to life. Currently, Accidental Superhero is putting the finishing touches on their second album to be released in early 2002.
