3 voor 12 about Despicable Heroes: “- If you love hardcore, Despicable Heroes is certainly a band not to be forgotten. They are around for just half a year but they sound very promising. ”

“- The Despicable Heroes from Barneveld have a highly dedicated fan base that react heavily to the raw At-the-Drive-In-music of the trio. Lots of energy, bruises, bleeding noses, fun and passion on and around the stage!”
