''Weekends of Sound'' is the third full-length studio album by the indie rock band 764-Hero. It was released in 2000 on Up Records. Critical reception '' The Stranger'' wrote that "throughout this outstanding record, tension coolly builds and unravels, insinuating what's to come." ''Phoenix New Times ''Phoenix New Times'' is a free digital and print media company based in Phoenix, Arizona. ''Phoenix'' ''New Times'' publishes daily online coverage of local news, restaurants, music, arts, cannabis, as well as longform narrative journalism.

Get Here And Stay
''Get Here and Stay'' is the second full-length album by the American indie rock band 764-HERO. The album was released on Up Records in 1998. Critical reception ''Spin'' deemed the album "a cool glass of lo-fi." The ''Times Colonist'' called it "feedback-drenched guitar chords and some of the most pained, emotive vocals to come out of Seattle in years." The ''Fort Worth Star-Telegram'' listed the album as one of the best of 1998, considering it "modest, guitar-driven love songs." ''The Seattle Times'' thought that "Polly Johnson's casual, understated drum playing should be studied by every rock drummer who equates 'loud' with 'good'."
