Colorado Music Buzz Magazine - Bianca Gordan "Random Hero’s fans do seem to be cherished more than most. The band fully recognizes that: “We definitely could not have accomplished any of this without the amazing support of our fans. It is even more true with the music industry today. Music fans have become much more savvy.” They also know that to retain dedication from fans they “have to be great live and genuinely appreciative of any success, or fans will move on to another band.” While the idea might be true for some, Random Hero seems to be gaining much momentum in terms of a fan base, rather than in danger of losing steam." ~Bianca Gordan, The Colorado Music Buzz. Max3 - "Random Hero hails from Denver, Colorado. Fairly new to the scene, they are making noise and turning heads every show! From powerful rock ballads and searing guitar anthems to get-down funk/metal grooves that tear the house apart, this ensemble, looking like a badass crew that just escaped The Matrix, will have your heart beating out of your chest faster than the time it takes to say "Follow the white Rabbit." ~Written by: MAX3 106.7 KBPI Clear Channel Station - Wilile B "Over 400 songs were entered into this years "Best Band in Denver contest and Pull the Trigger by Random Hero is by far my favorite song." ~Willie B, Program Director & Morning Show Talent KBPI Radio Colorado Music Buzz Magazine - Doug Anderson "Local hero, Random Hero, just pushed out an EP specifically for some big record execs. If this EP is any indication, Random Hero will be Colorado’s next big breakout act. Featuring five songs including their hit “Pull the Trigger,” a song which pretty much captures what they’re about, stadium-rocking anthems, thundering bass/drums, movie-esque keys, and maybe Colorado’s best Metal guitarist, Josh Bertrand. Already playing the big festivals including Van’s Warped Tour, and you may have also caught Josh on MTV’s reality show “Made,” where he tries in vain to coax a young high school wallflower into becoming a Punk-Rock singer to mixed results … I was scared for her. Check Random Hero out now, so you can say, “I knew them when.” MySpace.com/BandRandomHero United States Air Force - Scott McNabb Buckley NCO, bandmates rock Guardian Challenge video 4/14/2010 - BUCKLEY AIR FORCE BASE, Colo. -- Every good film is better with a good sound track to match. One Buckley NCO, and his band, made a song specifically for the Buckley Guardian Challenge team's entry video. All the teams are required to have their own entry video for portions of the contest as a way to promote team esprit de corps. Buckley is the only team with a song made just for them by a locally radio aired rock band. Staff Sgt. Joshua Tarrant, a 460th Operations group satellite systems operator and evaluator, is the drummer with Random Hero - a four-piece active rock band from Denver. He and the group wrote, produced and recorded the song "Guardians of Freedom" for the Buckley team's video. "Guardian Challenge is about the best of the best," said Sergeant Tarrant. "We wrote that song with that in mind, that this is their time to shine. We hope that this song helps instill motivation in our Airmen to meet the ultimate challenge. Regardless of the outcome, these teams have what takes to keep this nation safe." Aaron Watkins, vocalist, wrote the majority of the lyrics for the song and while he's not in the service, his research and self-reflection about what it means to be in the service are right on queue with the Air Force's messages. "I'm most proud of the fact that the song represents our Airman's core values and what they mean to them personally," he said. Parts of the group have been playing together for nearly five years. Joshua Bertrand, guitar, and Derek Arosemena, bass, were the original members of the band. The group as it is has been touring nationally and is currently under contract with Armed Forces Entertainment for overseas entertainment with the U.S. Military. Mr. Bertrand said he's very proud of the song and was glad to be a part of it. He and the group will play Saturday at the Marquis Theater. Tarrant and other Air Force members helped out with the spoken word portion of the song. They are: Tech. Sgt. Arrenthany Magee, Senior Airman Jacqueline Collard and Staff Sgt. Louis Giunta. The song lyrics are: Don't call myself a hero Don't call myself the answer But when you need me, just get out of my way I will rise and never fail I am the Guardian of Freedom I am the warrior that will never back down Flying high inside the Guardian Challenge And I will never fail We're crossing into the blue As our Nation's sword, we'll put service before ourselves We're crossing into the blue As our Nation's shield we are the Guardians of Freedom Don't call myself a savior Don't call myself the answer But when you need me, just get out of my way I will rise and never fail I am the Guardian of Freedom I am the one that will never back down Flying high I'll always fall in line 'Cause it's service before ourselves We're crossing into the blue As our Nation's sword, we'll put service before ourselves We're crossing into the blue As our Nation's shield we are the Guardians of Freedom We're crossing into the blue As our Nation's sword, we'll put service before ourselves We're crossing into the blue As our Nation's shield we are the Guardians of Freedom FLY, FIGHT, WIN FLY, FIGHT, WIN FLY, FIGHT, WIN FLY, FIGHT, WIN I am an American Airman I am a warrior I have answered my nation's call I am an American Airman My mission is to FLY, FIGHT, WIN We're crossing into the blue As our Nation's sword, we'll put service before ourselves We're crossing into the blue As our Nation's shield we are the Guardians of Freedom We're crossing into the blue As our Nation's sword, we'll put service before ourselves We're crossing into the blue As our Nation's shield we are the Guardians of Freedom < BACK
