Unheard Concept

About Me

Unheard Concept is a mainstream hard rock band from Richmond, VA. We believe whole heartedly that music should be about making sure that the fans are having just as much fun as we are onstage... and we have A LOT of fun onstage. Unheard Concept blends elements of mainstream rock with surprise, comedy and fan interaction in a way that is rarely seen in music today. Our stage show includes many unexpected events and cover songs that wouldn't be expected from us and have included songs by artists Vanilla Ice, George Michael, The Lone Rangers and more. Prepare yourself for a high-octane show full of energy, passion and relentless fury.
Unheard Concept formed from the ashes of many bands who were prominent figures in the Richmond scene. Vocalist Andrew Saunders and drummer Brandon Tuck are both former members of Fall of Rome. Guitarist Julian Houchins is formerly of Slingstone, Shadowstrand and is the former vocalist for Richmond metal band Hourglass and bassist Boz has played for Hourglasss and Richmond mainstays Fallen Under.
Unheard Concept has opened for such acts as 12 Stones (Wind Up Records), Nonpoint (Lava Records), Anew Revolution (Koch Records), Bobaflex (TVT Records), Hydrovibe (Orleans Street Records), Flaw (Universal Records), Marc Rizzo of Soulfly (Roadrunner Records), Midnight to Twelve (Koch Records), Saint Diablo (Nine 2 Five Records), Bullistic (Backstreet Records)and many more.
Unheard Concept has a wide array of merchandise available including t-shirts, hoodies, stickers, bottle openers, shot glasses and a live album. Contact us if you are interested in purchasing any of our items.

Don't listen to us. Here's what you guys have to say about us.

Unheard Concept is one of the best Indie/Unsigned bands I have heard in 2009. There is a depth to their music that you won't find anywhere else.
Amy "Morgan" Neal
Radio Host - Verbal Assault

"I had goosebumps running down my arms" - Michael Congdon - President; Artesian Entertainment

"It's like a satisfying punch in the face. It's accessible enough for the mainstream rock fan but angry enough for those who like their music a little more pissed off, and with purpose. " - Jay Smack - 102.1 The X DJ and Host of Studio B

"Unheard Concept has an incredible stage presence. They draw a great crowd and treat them with professionalism and integrity." - Crash - Afternoon Personality on WRXL - 102.1 The X

"Unheard Concept never fails to leave me with goosebumps and a grin on my face! Their high energy is contagious and the lyrics are catchy. Everyone is always singing along even if it's the first time they've heard the songs." – Catt Downey

"Unheard Concept is a band with incredible energy and stage presence. They have a rare mix of talent and originality. Undoubtedly one of the best bands I have had the honor to see." - Nick Slemp

"I love how the band involves the crowd. They are the most awesome group of guys. Andrew, Boz, Julian and Tuck are just awesome. I love the energy they bring to the stage. They make you part of the UC family. i mean come on who wouldn’t want that. Now if only I could have their babies." – Ashley Varney

"...the epitome of a mix of modern rock and metal. Every song rocks hard and heavy, but contains a chorus you can sing your lungs out to along with the band" - Travis Williams

"If you like amazing music with amazing energy, then go to a UC show because it doesn't get any better" - Jessica Desper

"Crunching guitars, great drums and vocals that go from melodic to angry at the flick of a switch, UC are a band you need to check out." - Barry Wilson - NE1 FM
