Alternative pop punks A HERO'S FATE have a few EP's out and about, and even a full-length, with them working on all new music for this year! The band goes into discussion about their comeback from taking some time to themselves, with a show coming up fast, wanting to put out new music and getting the fans old and new back into the groove!
1. Where did you get the idea for the band name? Did you plan it, or did it just come out like that?
The name A Hero’s Fate came from wanting something that felt epic yet relatable, something that reflected the idea of struggles, perseverance, and the journey people go through—kind of like the arc of a hero in a story. Whether it was planned or spontaneous, the name stuck because it fit the vibe we wanted.
2. Why did you want to play this genre?
We grew up listening to pop-punk, alternative rock, and post-hardcore, and it just felt natural. The energy, the emotion, and the storytelling in the genre matched how we wanted to express ourselves. Plus, bands like Blink-182, Taking Back Sunday, Sum 41, New Found Glory, and The Starting Line were huge inspirations for us, so it made sense to take that influence and run with it.
3. Did you know each other before the band was formed?
Yes! We were friends before the band, and that chemistry definitely helped. Being in a band is a lot like a family—you spend so much time together that it really helps when you already have that connection.
4. Where is the band based out of, and what is your music scene like there? Are there any local bands you could recommend?
We’re based in Orlando, Florida, which has always had a diverse and underrated music scene. There’s a mix of pop-punk, hardcore, indie, and metal bands that have come through here. Some bands worth checking out from our area include Hungover, Magnolia Park, 408 and Felicity—they’re killing it right now!
5. Who or what inspires you to write songs?
A mix of personal experiences, random life moments, and just the absurdity of growing up. Sometimes, it’s about real situations, sometimes it’s a funny story that gets exaggerated into a song. Musically, we draw inspiration from classic pop-punk bands and even outside genres to keep things fresh.
6. What are your songs about? (What specific themes do they cover?)
A lot of our songs focus on:
• Growing up and figuring life out
• Relationships and breakups (but with a fun twist)
• Nostalgia for the 2000s pop-punk era
• Funny, self-deprecating takes on life
We like to balance catchy, fun songs with some meaningful, emotional tracks, so there’s always something for different moods.
7. Do you write your own songs? (Discuss the songwriting process in detail.)
Yes, we write everything ourselves. Usually, it starts with a riff or melody idea, then we build around that. The songwriting process is collaborative—sometimes lyrics come first, sometimes the music shapes the lyrics. We’ll mess around with different structures until something clicks. We try to keep our writing process fun and open-ended so that it feels natural, not forced.
8. What have you released so far, and what can someone expect from your works?
We’ve put out a few EPs and full-length releases, including tracks like “Orange County” and “Amateur Hour.” If you’re into energetic pop-punk with a mix of humor and heart, you’ll vibe with our music. Expect big hooks, fast-paced energy, and lyrics that hit home but don’t take themselves too seriously.
9. Do you have any new music in the works?
Yes! We’re working on new material for 2025 to go along with our comeback show at The Abbey on March 22, 2025. The new songs will still have that classic A Hero’s Fate sound, but with some fresh influences now that we’ve had time away.
10. How about playing shows and touring—have anything planned out?
Our comeback show is happening on March 22, 2025, at The Abbey in Orlando, FL, with Hungover, Overthinker, and Twin Rova as supporting acts. Beyond that, we’re figuring out what comes next—whether it’s more local shows, a short tour, or festival dates.
11. What plans do you have for the future as a band?
Right now, the focus is on reconnecting with fans, putting out new music, and seeing where things go. Whether we go full-force into touring or keep things more project-based, A Hero’s Fate is back, and we’re excited to see what happens.
