A very diverse punk hardcore outfit ranging in sounds from Bad Brains, Blitz, Face to Face, Against All Authority, The Clash, Adolescents, Cro-mags, and Bad Religion among others. A blazing street punk hardcore oi band.
Nobody’s Hero is a punk/hardcore band from Miami with some old tricks! The band has former members of Against All Authority, The Vandals, Guajiro, and other punk acts. Joe Koontz (Against All Authority) began writing with Doug MacKinnon (The Vandals) back in 2008 just to get some songs out. They quickly realized they had chemistry with these songs and needed to get them out to the streets. Within a short time they recruited Dave Santos (Guajiro, LVG)and Rod Rushka (Defy, 3240) into the band. With the band now complete they set out writing more songs and playing any and everywhere they could. Their music takes a little bit from each of their favorite punk roots - a bit of Oi!, some street punk, a dash of old school HC, and puts it out in the form of some blazing sing along stuff. Their live shows ignite with a solid energy that keeps the crowds fist pumping and even gives back to AAA . They are working on a full length recording now to be released sometime in 2010.

Great Review of the 30th year anniversary show in the New Times Miami

Nobody's Hero prompted the best audience response of the evening. While people somehow stayed mostly still for Radiobaghdad, Nobody's Hero actually packed the room and got a pit going. Perhaps this is because of the band's cross-generational appeal. Local punk aficionados know that, of course, frontman Joe Koontz had his most famous turn in Against All Authority. But Nobody's Hero is very much an active, current band, and thus manages to ensnare the barely-legals along with the 30-year-olds. The band's sound is a fairly straightforward melodic/street hybrid kind of thing; it would have been popular on the Warped Tour when the Warped Tour still featured punk rock. The lyrics are political but don't dig too deep; this makes for better crowd singalongs. And Koontz nodded to his former local celebrity by ending the set with an interlude of AAA's closest thing to a hit, "All Fall Down."
