Sam's the Hero Bio
In the Spring of 2006, three friends from Virginia Beach finally got it right. After several years of different bands, names, and members Sam’s the Hero was born. Jeff Riggs, Neil Donohue, and Corey McCook (who replaced founding drummer, Jon Carolino, in ‘07) and their signature brand of catchy pop punk will 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 frontman 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 as, 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,” Donohue states. “That means coming to terms with faith in our every day lives. It's still girls and jobs and traffic but with the reality of faith behind it.” These three 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 infectious songs, an awesome live show, and a lot of drive they may be just what the scene needs.

you're still playing on the ninth, right? and audiostrobelight too?
and sorry i kinda ran away from you jeff at warped tour. the people i was with were leaving and i was halfway gone before i realized i didn't say bye! =D sorry!
Wow, I didn't know Neil could sing that high! And that hat doesn't suit you at all.. How come Corey wasn't in the video more? Poor drummers, they always get the short end of the stick.
so if this is Jeff checking the sth myspace, I have an update on your "little talk" about my backstreet boys ringback tone. I went to camp and we had to finish a clip that ended in a random spot and somehow I had to sing larger than life in front of atleast 250 people. we came in 1st place, but I think if I had sang some sams the hero tunes instead they probably would have like stuck me on broadway or somethin because your songs are just that amazing. continue bringing sensations to peoples ears..Brian hasnt mentioned you and your fabio hair on a unicorn lately
