Originally hailing from Humboldt, Calif, stoner rock it is not. They’ve been through five bass players, five drummers and three guitarists; but the core players of the group, Tyler Brown and Caleb Price, have forged ahead fearlessly. Reluctant Hero’s first show ever won third place in a battle of the bands. It played last year’s Warped Tour in Ventura, and is back in the running for this year’s. By Brown’s estimation, the sound is 85 percent rock and 15 percent screamo or “heavier stuff,” and their approach to promotion is 100 percent DIY. They are currently recording an EP and recently landed a deal with the Milk Rocks campaign, where they’ve joined the ranks of The Duke Spirit, The 88 and local up-and-comer Britney Christian (whose mom is Reluctant Hero’s manager) as sonic spokesmen for the health benefits of milk. (Sssh, don’t tell PETA.) They’ve been known to put on shows at The Pad on the east end, bringing in buzz bands from all over and drawing scores of scene kids. They are currently finishing up an EP and touring California. - VC Reporter

Bio
Reluctant Hero is an alternative rock band based out of Ventura, CA. The band started writing and performing in 2006 during their high school years in Humboldt County, CA. Soon after graduating, they set their sights on music mecca, L.A. and its surrounding regions. After a few lineup changes, they’re up and running in full force. They have had several west coast tours, numerous shows in L.A, including Hollywood's House of Blues, Summerfest and a date on the Vans Warped Tour. Recently, they released their third EP ‘All As One.” The guys in Reluctant Hero are well on their way to accomplishing great things!
