Boy Hero – Year One – EP Review “Post-Hardcore, but make it anime.” As the opening track “Anteiku” started up with such a pleasant, unassuming, non-aggressive vibe, I still braced myself for the burst of energy that would theoretically be coming right around the corner at any possible moment, given Boy Hero’s self-described take on […]Read More
