RELIGIO-POLITICAL HERESY & PUNK ROCK

Make no mistake about it, The American Heretics have arrived on the music scene! This explosive pop punk band is already making waves with their rebellious sound and unapologetic message. Their high-energy, anti-establishment rock is as contagious as it is defiant. Lead singer Lee Hayes’ vocals are raw, smoky, and piercing. The drum beats are blistering, and the guitar duo of Sean Ciccione and Hayes drives the whole train down the tracks. Hayes, a formerly signed artist with Firma Music Group, has seen national radio play and even had songs hit the Billboard charts. But after leaving Evangelicalism and his former Christian label, he hit the “reset” button on his music career. The American Heretics is that reset — a bold new chapter in pop punk rebellion.

Having already released a slew of covers and three original singles, The American Heretics' rebellious pop punk heart shines through. And it does so while delivering a memorable blend of high-energy punk rock and clever pop-rock hooks. Their latest single, “Cult,” is pure pop punk angst — guaranteed to have you singing along, banging your head, and ready to burn some shit down.

The American Heretics are hell-bent on upending the unholy trinity of Christian Nationalism, capitalism, and racism. As former members of the evangelical movement turned punk rock outsiders, they don’t shy away from the big issues. Substance abuse, sex, religion, racism, and politics are all fair game in Hayes’ lyrics. “There has been real harm caused to society by the American Evangelical movement,” he says. “Its union with far-right politics is disgusting.”

Anyone who wants to see a more equitable and just society — free from religious control — will connect with The American Heretics and their message. This is pop punk with purpose. This is rebellion with a rhythm.
