Band Infomation:
My American Heart is a rock band hailing from San Diego, CA. The band's original name was No Way Out, consisting of Larry Soliman on vocals, Jesse Barrera on bass guitar, Clint Delgado and Jeremy Mendez on guitar, and Steven Oira on Drums. No Way Out gained much local fame from many local SoCal venues they played at. Due to some legal troubles concerning their name the band changed it from No Way Out to their current name. Although many of the original members of the band are Filipino, singer Larry Soliman says "we're all American". The band made their first big break winning the Ernie Ball Battle Of The Bands. As popularity grew, the band was pressured to play at larger venues farther from home, causing Clint Delgado to leave the band to focus on his education. Instead, the band was left with Dustin Hook, Jesse Barrera, Steven Oira, and Larry Soliman. The band played the Taste of Chaos tour in 2005 and shortly after recorded the full length album The Meaning in Makeup with famed producer Sal Villanueva (Thursday, Taking Back Sunday) released on punk/indie legend Kevin Lyman's label, Warcon, in fall 2005.

The band headlined the Ernie Ball stage on the entire Warped Tour in the summer of 2005, and followed with a late fall headlining tour sponsored by MySpace. They also headlined their own independent tour with bands such as Portugal. The Man, Lorene Drive, and Action Action opening for them. In 2007 they supported Madina Lake on their tour of the UK. During this tour they said that they would return to the UK at a later date.

On December 24th, it was announced that they will be supporting The Blackout on their European tour in January & February

It was announced on the Australian Soundwave Festival tour that Steve Oira would be leaving the band after the tour. Jake Kalb (ex-The Fold/New Atlantic) has replaced him on drums.
