Sam Champion

Sam Champion visits the Soundcheck studio for a live performance. No, not the New York-area TV weatherman and "Good Morning America" personality. We're joined by Sam Champion, the Brooklyn-based indie-rock quartet. They join us to play songs from their new album "Heavenly Bender."

    Does anyone else hear Television in this band?

    Sonic Youth, too... and the slide guitar really hit a nerve....leg started twitching. Vocally even Tom Verlaine is blushing, but they've got my number.

    Middletown U8 Soccer says "We be lovin Sam Champion!" They also hear just a touch of Remy Zero in the song they're playing right now.

    Does the world really need another boring rock band like this?

    The world absolutely needs an innovative and smart rock band like Sam Champion - they are amazing.
