"There is feeling behind those face melting guitar riffs, just listen to it and you can hear it, composing the music on a sub-conscious level that encompasses the band and their instruments" - David Couchman, Surface Unsigned Reviewer

"Alt-rock geek-cool vocals and neo-Hendrix guitar heroics " - Chris Hunter, Kent Messenger Reporter.

He Who Dares are a exciting four piece alternative indie rock band from Maidstone/Sittingbourne. Formed in 2006, the band immediately started writing their own material, taking their combined influences from the likes of Red Hot Chili Peppers, Radiohead, Muse and Jimi Hendrix.

The results of this time spent writing was the bands first demo EP, recorded in March 2008. 8 tracks were recorded in total, including what were to become fan favourite tracks; 'Missing Pieces', 'Point Of No Return' and 'Now That I've Found Love', with the later being a frequent end of set song.

The band is an up and coming act on the Kent gig scene, receiving very positive reviews wherever they have played, and recently played their first gigs in Central London, as well as getting radio play for a number of tracks.

He Who Dares have also had great success building a fan base on the internet, with their song ‘Now That I’ve Found Love’ staying inside the Top 30 Chart on leading unsigned band site www.bandsunsigned.co.uk for over 6 months.

In December 2008 the band came 2nd out of 32 of Kent's finest unsigned band's in the Maidstone Zebra Bar Supreme Battle of the Bands competition, with over 320 people attending the final round.

In May 2009 the band released their second demo EP, containing the three tracks, 'Histrionics', 'Irresolution' and 'Just Won't Stop'. Recorded at NSP Studios in Maidstone, the three tracks showcase the progression in the band's songwriting.

The band aim to continue to gig regularly throughout 2009, while continuing to write new material.
