THE STORY SO FAR: Resident Hero owe Sammy Hagar. After Texas native Ryan White (vocals/guitar) relocated to Los Angeles and started gigging with Jay Warren(drums) and Luke Agajanian (bass), they eventually entered a battle of the bands-hosted by none other than the former Van Halen frontman and current tequila shill-which they won. "[That was when] we decided maybe we didn't suck that much," says White. "We used our prize money to record our EP."
WHY YOU SHOULD KNOW 'EM: The mostly melodic, sometimes aggro quartet already look the part of success. Friends and tourmates with Flyleaf, vocalist Lacey Mosley sings on their stellar track, "Vendetta Black." Andy while they've played with Kill Hannah and Simple Plan, RH aren't a full-time band-yet. "Hearing a club full of people screaming my words, when the next day I'll be waiting tables to make rent-is there anything more beautiful?" WHite posits. [RL] - Alternative Press

Bio
Resident Hero, a trio fronted by charismatic songster/guitarist Ryan White, is sure to take a hold of you and not let you go. Lead vocalist Ryan White has an open and honest way of expressing his life through his music and performances that draws in the listener. As a songwriter, he defines his own unique sound of edgy rocking tracks laced with melodies. With Jay Warren on drums, the band's attack is given a solid, clean sound that drives the music forward on iron rails. Luke Agajanian supplies the backing vocals and bass lines with massive tones.
Resident Hero has the heart in music that relates the listener to the songwriter through passion and love of the song. Every night when Ryan gets onstage, right before they go on, he tells himself it "This could be the last show I ever play". They play for the cause - all lost money and relationships as well as gone hungry while touring. They give everything to their music, and that's why their fans are so hardcore. Resident Hero just finished a 4 month national tour as the opening act for Flyleaf, Kill Hannah and Sick puppies. As an unsigned band, the fact that they made so many new fans and friends while playing before such quality acts has given them a new life for live music.
