Sandlot Heroes is a pop/rock band from Bethlehem, Pennsylvania consisting of lead singer Dan Kastelnik, guitarist Chris Morrison, and drummer Ans Gibson. The band's singles Out of My Hands, and Believer were played regionally on Top 40 radio,[1] an unusual achievement for an unsigned band.[2][3] Believer was co-written by Carl Bell,[4] the guitarist and main song writer for the band Fuel.

The band self-released their first album Pretend That We're Famous[5] on October 31, 2009.[6][7] On April 15, 2012 the band released a five song EP titled The Trace EP. On most of their recordings, the band has worked with producer Adam Richman in Coney Island, New York.

Subsequently, the band has toured with Honor Society in November/December 2011, Hawthorne Heights in April 2012,[8] Bowling For Soup in April/May 2012,[9] and Yellowcard, We Are the In Crowd, and The Wonder Years in November/December 2012.[10]

It is said that the band has devoted most of 2013 to writing a recording new music, building a new team, and working to define their sound. [11] During this time former Bass player Jake Lare announced on Facebook that he would be leaving the band for personal reasons. Although this was a set back Sandlot Heroes kept pushing forward and on January 14th, 2014 released a new single called Come Back. [12]
