Heroes in Hiding are and alternative rock band formed in Dublin in 2008.

Early Years
The original members were school friends in St.Kilians Deutsche Schule Dublin. The band consisted of Cian Donohoe, Joe Carroll, Jomi Krobb, Kim Davitt, Oisín Jacob and Ronan Downing. Originally a ska rock group, the band independently released their first record "Lies EP" in 2010. Following a hiatus between 2011-2013, the band reformed as a four-piece with former Shouting at Planes front-man, Liam McCabe, on bass guitar. The sound of the band developed over the following years with releases such as 'Hush' and 'Can't Dance' taking influence from Folk rock. In 2015 Heroes in Hiding worked Phillip Magee, producer of The Script, Kodaline and The Academic on their third EP ' Decorated Absence '. The record included tracks  'Casanova' ,  'Today, I Mean it' and  'Lay 'Down in the Fire'.

One year later the band released a mini-LP title 'Curtains'. The record was launched alongside a successful Fundit campaign for a 360 degree audio-visual show that invited 200 guests to a premiere of the record in a secret Dublin location. . The leading track 'Hospital' was nominated for an RTE Choice Music Award in 2017 and the band performed it live on The Late Late Show (Irish talk show) in September 2017.
