OUR HEART’S HERO POISED FOR SEPTEMBER DEBUT ON GOTEE RECORDS Band Tours Non-Stop This Summer On Two Tour Runs (Nashville, Tenn.) June 26th, 2007 – Our Heart’s Hero, the newest band to ink a deal with Gotee Records, is poised to unveil their self-titled debut on September 18th.
The self-titled debut effort hails 11 songs of heartfelt, soaring pop-rock, all penned by front man and guitarist Nick Joyce, with eight of the songs being produced by Brent Milligan (Audio Adrenaline, ZOEgirl, Rebecca St. James) and Ian Esklelin taking credit for three songs. Sonically, Our Heart’s Hero is being likened to Switchfoot, Sanctus Real, Jimmy Eat World, and Delirious.
"Gotee is thrilled to have Our Heart's Hero as the newest artist with our team,” said label co-founder, Toby McKeehan. “We love the music and the hearts of this band. Not only is their music top notch, but these are guys who pour their lives into the kids they play for and walk through whatever life brings to them with grace and wisdom. I can't wait for people to meet this band."
Our Heart’s Hero has spent the last couple years touring extensively with over 150 dates a year nationwide. Fans caught additional performances as the band joined the Rock, Paper, Scissors Tour the summer of 2007 with Wavorly and High Flight Society, as well as late summer dates as part of the Revolution Calling Tour with Red, Grits, and Falling Up. Our Heart’s Hero also performed in 20 cities earlier that spring with The Afters. The band closed out 2007 with a nationwide run on the Punk the Halls Tour headlined by Stellar Kart and featuring Nevertheless, EleventySeven and Manafest.
With a major grassroots following and over 23,000 friends on myspace.com site, Our Heart’s Hero has sold 20,000 copies of their independent album to date. The first radio single released by Gotee Records “Back to the Cross” peaked at Number 22 on the charts and landed at 77 on the CRW Year End Top 100 list for AC Adult Contemporary on nationwide Christian Radio. The band's next single, "Tomorrow" is going for adds at CHR Radio starting in April of 2008.
i can't believe that camp is over!!! i miss you guys. you were soooo good. i think that i have listened to your cd about 50 times since camp has been over :) well i can't wait till you are playing near us again i will totally be there!!!
So I was beginning to think that you guys didn't want me as a friend of the band, just as a friend to each of you individually. Anyway. Pretty sure you guys rocked CSBC but I'm pretty depressed. I didn't get to say bye to you. I know sad story. So... bye.. Miss you guys and your dorkiness! :]. Later.
"Angel's Story" is very touching. Thanks for that. I enjoyed your other songs too. I also wanted to say that I have my new song "Luz" up. Hope you can listen to it and my other songs. Take care,Cisco
Just checking in to see how you are doing and still loving your work. Kudos to your space, it looks great. Keep doing what you do. Great work. ~CARRiON
hey! umm just wanted to say/ask one thing: why'd you guys change your old songs? i mean, i went to a retreat where you guys performed and i bought your selftitled album. it's AMAZING! i still listen to it today, and it's been a few years since that retreat. but when i come to y'alls page and play the tracks (like broken and tomorrow) they sound SO different! i still think y'alls music is amazing, but i'm just saying i didn't exactly like the way you guys changed your original songs. i am in no way critisyzing your music, this was just really bugging me. and also...what happend to nick??
pretty sure you need to come back to ventura county, cuz when my friend and i drove like an hour to see you, you werent there.... we need to see you again!
I like your pictures of the buffalo...I sent them to my mom and dad, they still live in Jamestown, actually kind of near where the buffalo is! haha! they were super excited! when I was growing up I was always too scared to take my picture with it!
