Virginia Beach, VA- December 2, 2006 - Sons of Noah, the first band signed by Christian indie label Raging Storm Records, announced today they will now be known as "Sam's the Hero". The announcement came in conjunction with a special concert, where the band played it's original five-song setlist from 2003. The band also introduces three debut songs reflecting a solid progression in style, all to an enthusuastic crowd.
"Yeah, we're changing our name," stated Jeff Riggs, bass player and lead singer for Sam's the Hero. "It's still the same music, and same idiots behind the instruments." - Raging Storm Records
If you are christian you can appreciate the talent of the band in writing honest music about what life really is, not some sugarcoated christian music that glosses over the real things that happen in life. If you are not christian it wont kill you to listen, this isnt evangelizing, overtly witnessing music, it is simply a positive spin on music which is a plus for the up and coming generation. The world needs more sweet music. - listener submitted review

Bio
What was once intended as a side-project and a "one time use" filler band, has now become the passion and purpose in the lives of three young men.
When Virginia Beach, VA local band Solitude was unable to fulfill a date they had committed to, vocalist/lead guitarist, Jon Carolino, called on friends Jeff Riggs and Neil Donohue from local band Flipside. The three worked out an eclectic arrangement of cover songs and filled in. Thus, the side-project, then called Sons of Noah, was born from one night of covers, a really good time, and a common love of music, laughter, and God.
Now, though Solitude and Flipside are no longer together, Sams the Hero is going stronger than ever. At first riding more on personality and sense of humor than actual musicianship, the trio has matured musically over the past two years, with a style appealing to a large audience of music fans, and crossing genre borders. With a full-length CD released in June of 2006, a memorable live show, and a busy booking schedule, Sams the Hero anxiously awaits all that has been planned for them, and are greatful for all they've been blessed with thus far.
