Think you're busy? Can't find enough hours in the day? Don't complain to Adam King. Barely a quarter-century old; Adam is married, runs his own graphic design company, is heavily involved in Canadian federal politics and the local politics of Brantford, Ontario, and lends his time to The Ford Plant (a non-profit music and art venue in Brantford). He spent much of his childhood in Bangladesh with his missionary parents, and holds degrees in political science and law and social thought. Oh yeah, and he sings in a band called False Heroics. They're pretty good.

Here's what CBC Radio 3 has to say about

False Heroics' debut album "The Salvation Navy", is an unromantic saga--an epic panorama where the poor of the world are displaced, teenaged capitalists whine over unrequited love, and the Lord God dialogues with shopaholics.

If music reviews containing references to capitalism and religion aren't your thing, perhaps a straight-up comparison might entice you: False Heroics have a Something Corporate sort of vibe. If you like big choruses, anthemic singalongs, and crunchily distorted guitars, you're going to like False Heroics a lot.
