Sam Roberts Band has been around since 2000, when Sam Roberts began his solo career. Although the band has been together since then, it was not until the May 2011 release of Collider that Sam Roberts decided to add the moniker of "Sam Roberts Band" to the otherwise "solo" project. Sam Roberts mentions in interviews that it was always a "band" but that he wanted to add the words to give credit to his bandmates who have also worked hard in creating the success now known as the Sam Roberts Band.
