The Heretics

The Heretics are a Cambridge alt-rock band whose music combines forceful guitars, high-energy rhythms and direct writing about resilience. ‘Bends & Breaks’ opened a new chapter for the group, pairing a sense of personal turmoil with forward-moving instrumentation. The track uses dynamic shifts and a large chorus to reflect the strain described in its lyric without allowing the arrangement to become static. The Heretics place the physical momentum of rock performance alongside subjects involving pressure, change and recovery.
