1	''Wir sind Helden'' (German for "We are heroes") is a German AlternativeRock band. They're largely responsible for bringing rock sung in German back into the mainstream of Germany. In doing so, they created a new style generally dubbed ''Neue Neue Deutsche Welle'' (the "New New German Wave", after the movement of the 80s).
