Band of the Week - O.A.R. (Of A Revolution)
This alternative rock/jam band group formed at during their time at the Ohio State University after four of the five members started the band in their high school years in Rockville, Maryland.
Th band consists of Marc Roberge (vocals, guitar), Chris Culos (drums, percussion), Richard On (guitar, backing vocals), Benj Gershman (bass guitar), and Jerry DePizzo (saxophone, guitar, snare drum kit, backing vocals). The band has enjoyed much success due to the transfer of music through the internet as well as having songs relate to those in high school and university.
O.A.R. has released six studio albums (The Wanderer (1997), Soul's Aflame (2000), Risen (2001), In Between Now and Then (2003), Stories of a Stranger (2005), All Sides (2008)) and four live albums (Any Time Now (2002), 34th & 8th (2004), Live from Madison Square Garden (2007), Rain or Shine (2010)). The one thing that sets O.A.R. apart from other bands is their ability to produce a sound greater than or equal to the sound from the studio album. Some great things about their live songs are that they will add introductions, bridges, or even change some of the lyrics to make that specific performance unique for the fans.
Below is one of my favourite tracks from them titled Wonderful Day from Stories of a Stranger
