History
The band was originally formed in 2002 under the name "Fireproof". 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.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“Anyone who is practically acquainted with scientific work is aware that those who refuse to go beyond fact rarely get as far as fact; and anyone who has studied the history of science knows that almost every great step therein has been made by the “anticipation of Nature.””
—Thomas Henry Huxley (1825–95)
“No cause is left but the most ancient of all, the one, in fact, that from the beginning of our history has determined the very existence of politics, the cause of freedom versus tyranny.”
—Hannah Arendt (1906–1975)
“When we of the so-called better classes are scared as men were never scared in history at material ugliness and hardship; when we put off marriage until our house can be artistic, and quake at the thought of having a child without a bank-account and doomed to manual labor, it is time for thinking men to protest against so unmanly and irreligious a state of opinion.”
—William James (1842–1910)
