My brother in law, Benj, is the bassist for the band O.A.R. (.....Of A Revolution). The Baltimore Sun actually wrote a favorable article about them in yesterday's LIVE! section (a shock to me since I barely agree with anything written in the Sun) Here is an excerpt:
Steamy weather, chilled Coronas and party people - bodies slick with sweat - bumping and grooving under the moon. It's a summer party whenever you throw on an O.A.R. CD. The band's latest is In Between Now and Then. And although I had heard of the Maryland group, I never really paid much attention to the music. It wasn't exactly on my radar.Curious about what makes O.A.R. such a big deal, I slipped the CD in and was instantly transported to a Caribbean beach party ( "Dareh Meyod" ) , then a fun, smoky joint in a college town ( "Right On Time" ) . Yeah, I dug it. The grooves pulled me in.
Besides for the fact that they got Benj's last name wrong (how difficult is g*rshm@n?!?) and there were a few factual errors, the article was still pretty positive. I wonder when we will stop feeling that overwhelming excitement when we hear Benj's music on the radio or read articles about the band. Probably not for a long time. Way to go!
