Interview
Band name meaning: When you look into a mirror you see imperfection, you see flaws, you see mistakes, because we know ourselves in a brutally honest way, making us seem half price. But no matter how "Half Price" we may seem; someone always looks up to us, or vise versa, and they see us, or we see them as heroes! so that would make us all a "Half Price Hero"
1. Half Price Hero started in June of 2006. I was in a few bands: The Tiny Wooden Ninjas, Sonic Def Monkeys, The Sally Reward, and none of these bands ever pushed hard enough, so I was always the last man standing so to speak. One day while having lunch with producer Matt Skudlarek, He says to me "Why don't you just go solo?" (My last band was tracking an album with him at the time, and the other members quit.)So I went solo. 7
2.The one message that I want to get out there more than the music is for people to be real, not just to everyone around them, but to themselves. Be honest even when it hurts, and seek God... I know a lot of people give Him a shot, but as soon as something bad happens they drop Him. Nobody every learns how to play the guitar if they quit when a string breaks? 3. When I'm writing a song the first thing I do is open my heart, get our a pen and paper (or marker and glass table) and I start playing a riff, once I find something I like I improvise lyrics, or hum melodies, until I establish a feeling for the song, then I write what's on my heart at that current moment. 4. Almost always God is my inspiration, or my emotions at the current moment. 6. My influences are: The Decemberists, Anathallo, Lecrae, Raenbow Station, Mates of state, and Dead End Stanley. 9. As of right now the one song I can't stop listening to is a song called "American Hearts" by a band called Piebald.But the best album so far for this years is easily "Lecrae" album Rebel. 10. Some plans that I have for the future are to keep playing anywhere that I get invited to, and maybe get some t-shirts out soon so that people can have something to wear :) Every Homeless person in the state of TN will have a Half Price Hero T-shirt if I can help it :) 11. I would love to go to Iceland, I love the band "Sigur Ros" and would love to go there, so I can see them live, and lay out in the grass!! That would be amazing! 12. The best day of my life was easily my album release party! All of the support I got from, friends, Family, and Fans was just amazing! I was being sued for 1600$ and had 3 days left with only 100$ in my pocket... I raised 1100$ at the Release show thanks to the best Venue in Chattanooga TN "The Warehouse." 14. If Half Price Hero keeps going the way it has been in the past few months, I will be overly joyed! So far I have gotten to do more than I ever thought possible. 15. If I was stranded on a desert Island alone I would just eat my arms.... that way I could walk up onto the rescue ship?? or maybe I would just keep biting the inside of my mouth like I always do, that skin seems to regrow quickly ha ha! 16. The funniest thing I ever Did while I was onstage was waited until a friend of mine had a full mouth of water, and looked at her made a crazy face and screamed really loud, and she spit her water everywhere! It was priceless. 17. Keep me in your prayers that I don't fall off of a stage! It's my second biggest fear next to getting hit in the ear with a cream filled doughnut! 18. If I met God tonight, and could ask Him only one question.....hmmmm?.... I would ask Him if I'm lukewarm. Thank you so much for everything and I hope that everyone that reads this enjoys it, and keeps in touch with me! God Bless you all Todd -Half Price Hero

The Explained Temptation Hey Everyone! Welcome again a new sermon from Word of truth, last sermon we give a little explanation on why God let happen things at the same time we may clear your mind on probably some other doubts you may have, in this next sermon I would like to talk about a book, I think would love and answer many questions of you. I am talking about the book of James. But who is James? There are over 4 James, although some says there are 5, but the one everyone or the majority of all people agrees, the writer of this book is the half-brother of Jesus Christ. The book is wrote during the persecution made by King Agrippa I against Christian people, this book talks about many stuff for Christian people, such as no believers. Today I would like to talk about something we sometimes confuse and it also has to be with what I talked at the last sermon, I am talking about test God put on our way and the wrong said by many people: “God has/is tempting me”. In James, we can see, that of God tempt people, it’s absolutely a completely lie, God works in the life of those who follow him, God works in our life which when we passed well, it would have a gift and would strength us more. The reason because God can’t tempt anybody is because, he can be tempt or tempt anybody, all temptations comes from evil: “The when lust hath conceived, it bringeth forth sin: and sin, when it is finished, bringeth forth death. (James 1:15) What God is trying to tell us (believers) is that we should resist the test, as I said before, there’s a promise gift at the end of the test, the crown of life for those who love God (James 1:12)
I know writing this, may sound easy, although it is not, but always God has a way out, but we should not worry on the way out so much, but if not, in change. That’s what he want us to do, he put us in several situations to choose us maybe a sin or a problem we had and we know, we have; Or a problem we may don’t known at all. He works in our life, to take everything he doesn’t like from us and that’s how we should have to see it. I know, cause I have been and I am on that position, sometimes my mind tells me, you can’t hold on the test, but that’s a lie!, a lie from enemy to treat us down and make us fail over and over, but God is there, and he says in his word he can put us on a test we can handle. So I encourage you, to look for him, to put your life on him and if God is trying to show you your mistakes, your sins... Give it all to him! In our next sermon we would talk about more, about this wonderful book of James, I would encourage you to read it if you have the chance cause is of many bless and guide to your life, as the whole bible.

Review Heloo everyone and welcome to a new Tvarticle, where we talk you about several tv shows you must watch (in case you dont) or if you know it, well... We give our critics. While working this, i was thinking about which show talk you, and i decide to talk this time about 30 Rockefeller or just 30 Rock. Mainly the show is a parody to tv show producing, in this show you would see, as i said before a parody behind tv show producing and offices, etc. It’s not a mistake, that this show had win so many awards, because its an funny, cool show that may make you laugh. The show stars Tina Fey, Alec Baldwin, Tracy Morgan and much more. Many reasons are recommended to see this show: 1. The Cast: Many of these actors at the series are pretty awesome comedians, some are not so much, but there many good actors, plus all the team behind the show.
2. The Show itself: The parody, its a really cool work, really funny, everything would make you laugh. 3. Besides other sitcom shows: I got to admit this is one, i like most and i think if you haven’t see it, you would love it! So, if you would like to see more or get your own critics, we have several shows to see for free at our website by going to http://www.freewebs.com/hopewhenmag/tvseries.htm
