Single Review For Class Of 13 (Live)
Class Of 13 is the first single released by the US Rock group Heroes & Cons, It’s a live version of the song recorded in Oakland, California on 17th November 2009. It’s a song about the pressures put on teenagers to grow up too quickly, It’s about wanting to spend your time out partying and as Aaron Joe says “all you want to do is Fuck around and have nothing to worry about”.
The vocals from the live show is almost as clear as you’d expect it be if it was recorded in a studio and you can hear the sell-out crowd very clearly and they are obviously enjoying the song. The single includes 2 additional tracks which are a live version of I Was Young Once and an early demo version of Rebels With A Cause which is being considered for their debut album.
The single definitely gives you value for money as these tracks are unavailable anywhere else and it’s sure to sell well amongst the ever expanding Heroes & Cons fan base and it’s good preparation for their upcoming US tour. It’s a good enough song for this band to build on and I’m sure that with the release of their debut album later on in the year this band could regularly feature in the top 40 singles chart.
Overall it’s a good enough track and should be fairly successful.

"Just to update you guys, Heroes & Cons will be hitting the studio at the end of our current US tour, The tour finishes on May 8th and we'll take like a week off and we'll then go into the studio on about 17th May 2010. So hopefully we'll have everything finished by July and we'll get the album out as soon as possible."
