Sam's the Hero

In the Spring of 2006, this group of friends from Virginia Beach finally got it right. After coming together from different backgrounds and several years of different bands, names, and members, Sam’s the Hero was born. Jeff Riggs, Jon Carolino, Corey McCook, and Justin Sykes use their signature brand of catchy pop punk to bring you back to a time when music was
all about how much fun you could have playing it. “Our
band is really all about loving what we’re doing,” says front-man Riggs. “We don’t set out to make ‘high art’ and we’re not trying to change the face of the music scene. We’re playing what we love and having fun
doing it.” A fact that is quite apparent is that musically, Sam’s the Hero is the equivalent of a high five. Lyrically their songs focus heavily on relationships:
relationships with girls, friends, and God. “We try to write music that means something to us, that means coming to terms with faith in our every day lives.  It's still songs about girls and jobs and traffic, but with the reality of faith behind it.” These four video game lovers hope to bring their positive, feel-good spirit to a music scene that’s currently plagued by negativity, depression, and fabricated angst. With a catalog of infec-tious songs, an awesome live show, and a lot of drive, they may be just what the scene needs.
