Founding members Nick Joyce (from South Point, Ohio), Jeremy McKnight (Proctorville, Ohio) Gabe Carroll (Proctorville, Ohio) ]Gabe White (Huntington, West Virginia) met in high school (Grace Christian School) and started the band because they wanted to make music that was more positive. 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.
