Schoolyard Heroes is a horror/punk rock band from Seattle, Washington. They first reached local prominence in 2003, after winning second place in Experience Music Project's Sound Off! Competition. They continued on to make a debut album, The Funeral Sciences. 2005 saw the release of their sophomore effort, Fantastic Wounds and a nationwide tour with the now defunct Vendetta Red. They have been featured in the Seattle newspaper The Stranger.

Singer Ryann Donnelly claims that the band has its roots in the year 2000, when she and the band attempted to play a cover of a Misfits song, "Last Caress", but were cut off due to offensive lyricism (they were playing a Christian Battle of the Bands function).
