The Thomas Nicholas Band has got a lot to say on their second album, Heroes Are Human (June 1st 2010). In fact, Thomas pens songs about all kinds of revolutions—from personal and emotional revelations to perspectives changing on a mass scale. However, the riff is just as mighty as the word for Thomas, and there's no shortage of infectious, soulful rock on the new album.  Showing humor and heart, Thomas has lit up the silver screen in memorable roles in American Pie, American Pie II, American Wedding and Rookie of the Year. However, his musical presence is just as vibrant, and his new record is proof. Bassist Thai Long Ly lays down solid melodic grooves while locking in with Shay Godwin's energetic drumming. Rob Leifer adds explosively creative guitar playing that truly compliments Thomas' compelling vocals and crunchy rhythm guitar. Plus, they write all their own songs while Thai engineers and produces, making this outfit wholly indie and self-sufficient. 

"We do our best to think outside the box and we hope that others will as well. In reality, we're only in awe of those who take risks. Those who start the revolutions." 

Ultimately, Thomas has been prepared for this revolution for a long time. "For us, music is all about the experience," he continues. “We really took our time with the new album, and we want to give fans something to think about. I'm just trying to tell interesting stories. Some people are going to love it and some aren't, but I'm not afraid to put myself on the chopping block."
