THE HERO & THE VICTOR (THATV) is an American post Punk/Indie/Rock band out of Santa Barbara, California formed in 2001. THATV have been making unique music, which they can only describe as honest, expressive, no-rules rock. Originally named after a description of Salvador Dali's paintings; the band took the phrase and coined it as their own reflection about how one should address the moral dilemma between doing what is right versus just getting ahead.
