Recording information: Blackbird Studios, Nashville; Frontside 180 Studios; Rewind Studios, NYC; Strange Weather, Brooklyn; Sucker Punch Recording Company, Bethesda; Vital Studio, Columbus. Photographer: Josh Goleman. Of a Revolution's eighth studio long-player and first outing for Vanguard Records, The Rockville LP finds Marc Roberge, Chris Culos, Richard On, Benji Gershman, and Jerry DePizzo returning to their hometown of Rockville, Maryland and reckoning with the emotional complexities that come from enduring an 18-year-long roller coaster ride that has often resulted in keeping family and friends, and even their own wants and needs, at arm's length. O.A.R. has always been a band that reveled in the hacky sack inclusiveness of the jam band scene, offering up an easy, melodic, and always danceable infusion of '90s college rock and suburban reggae-pop that fell somewhere between DMB, Rusted Root, Ziggy Marley, and the Goo Goo Dolls, and Rockville is no exception, especially on cuts like "Two Hands Up," "The Architect," and "Favorite Song." ~ James Christopher Monger
