Some of their more well-known charitable endeavors come in the form of the band’s own Heard The World foundation which tirelessly searches for ways in which to support youth education not just through funding but sustainable projects that work and provide a long-term solution. And that’s not all. The band has collaborated with organizations dedicated to helping veterans of war as well as those on the losing end of the economy and they still continue this day to straddle the line between celebrities and humanitarians. Maybe that’s why they are called Of A Revolution – because they are revolutionizing both the industry of music and our perception of rock stars in it.

“In Between Now and Then” was released in 2003 and was the band’s first album to chart on the U.S. Hot 100. The album made it to number 54 on the chart. “Stories of a Stranger” was released two years later and it made it number 44 on the U.S. Hot 100 chart. O.A.R has not received the commercial and critical success of many other bands, but they did not let them stop them. In 2008, their hard work paid off with their fourth album entitled “All Sides.” The album made it to number 13 on the U.S. Hot 100 chart and hit number 4 on the U.S. Alternative chart.

Of A Revolution has been making music since 1996 and continues to crank out quality tunes even to this day. Supporting this terrific band will help ensure they have the means to continue to make the music we know and love.I was looking for more information and found it here. The bands origins trace back to Rockville, Maryland and OAR has successfully sustained a large following of college students since then.

OAR is renowned for their lyrics which are typically of a personal nature and as such many of OAR’s fans are able to identify with the music in an even closer fashion. The work ethic shown by OAR is something many bands could learn from; they have never shied away from performing live and are known for consistently playing as many show as possible in order to keep the fans pleased. Show your support for them today!

Members of the band include Marc Roberge, Chris Culos, Richard On, Benj Gershman, Jerry DePizzo, and Mikel Paris (touring member). 2005 was a break out year for O.A.R. as they became big with their Top 40 on the Billboard 200 album titled “Stories of a Strange”. They also had a single that received significant airplay as well as MTV and VH1 rotation called “Love and Memories”.

“In Between Now and Then” is easily OAR’s best album. Released in 2003, this album was full of solid jam rock that the group eventually abandoned for a more soft-rock sound. The production on this album was excellent and though many songs had some distinct similarity to Dave Matthew’s Band, they still had plenty of their own sound. The reggae influence is a bit more subtle throughout this album, but the vibe still definitely extends to the overall sound.

Though Marc Roberge is not a particularly good singer, the studio polish on this album really helps him out. There is also the fact that the instruments take center stage in most of the songs and the catchy hooks make you forget about any uneven vocals. On “Hey Girl” and “Right on Time”, the vibe is a rowdy one and any vocal issues are barely noticeable. “Old Man Time” and “Any Time Now” are a bit more dubious, but they are nevertheless, smooth and interesting songs.

The album contains a total of fifteen tracks, but two of these are very short intros and outros. It clocked in at a little over an hour.
