Despite the titles of future albums,
Suburba is the most colorful album in House of Heroes' discography. Released on the heels on the band's most daring and acclaimed album to this day,
The End is Not the End, 2010's
Suburba trades its predecessors massive scope and progressive tendencies to a back-to-basics display of rock'n'roll mastery. The album is brimming with life, vibrant with sounds, strings, and the voices of all four band members, as they presumably asked themselves, "Can we make songs about teenagers in their neighborhoods that sound as epic as songs about soldiers in World War II?" The answer is a resounding "Yes!", as proved by modern rock classics like the opener "Relentless," the hilariously catchy and clever "Love is for the Middle Class," and the iconic singalong "God Save the Foolish Kings." The boys' Beatles-worship is a little on-the-nose at times, but truly innovative rock songs like the grooving "Elevator," the unpredictable "Disappear," or the epic "Burn Me Down" cement House of Heroes as a truly unique rock band that Christian music will never forget.
