Under pressure to avoid copyright infringement with another Christian contemporary band, Pillar, they changed their name to "Our Heart's Hero" at the start of 2004; their first independent album, Can You Hear Me, was released that year. It was followed by two other independent albums: Live in California on April 12, 2005, and Our Heart's Hero on July 4, 2006. They achieved some popularity as an unsigned group on MySpace, performing over 150 concerts a year and selling 20,000 copies of their 2006 release.

—Ishmael Reed (b. 1938)
