O.A.R. is an American
rock band
composed of Marc Roberge (vocals, guitar
), Chris Culos (drums
, percussion), Richard On (guitar, backing vocals), Benj Gershman (bass guitar
), and Jerry DePizzo (saxophone
, guitar, percussion, backing vocals). Due to massive online distribution over campus networks, the band has become a hit among college students, with many songs relating to the band members' personal lives at Thomas S. Wootton High School, growing up in Rockville, Maryland
and attending Ohio State University
.
. They then recruited Richard On and Benj Gershman. In 1997 they recorded The Wanderer at Gizmo Recording Company in Silver Spring, Maryland with engineer/producer Gantt Kushner. The four band-members graduated from Wootton High School
in Rockville, Maryland, then moved to Columbus, Ohio
to attend Ohio State University. While at Ohio State, they met Jerry DePizzo, from Youngstown, Ohio
. In 2000 they returned to Gizmo Recording to record "Souls Aflame".
Without any formal marketing or advertising plans, news of their songs such as "That Was a Crazy Game of Poker," "City on Down," and "Night Shift" spread by word of mouth
alone. Over the years, the band played as many shows as they could, expanding from the fraternities and sororities of Ohio State to any audiences that cared to listen. This exposure paid off; their third album Risen
debuted at #11 on the Billboard
top internet sales chart. The following year, their fourth album Any Time Now debuted at #156 on the Billboard 200
chart. They received offers from various major labels, but signed with Lava Records
because they promised not to change the band.

and MTV

Many of the tracks on "Stories of a Stranger" and subsequent albums have displayed a willingness by the band to move away from the reggae, ska, and jam band inspired sound which made them popular -- featuring shorter run-times, less acoustic instrumentation, and more pop-inspired arrangements.
On January 14, 2006, O.A.R. reached a new peak of popularity by drawing roughly 18,000 fans and selling out New York City's Madison Square Garden
, which earned them a review in the New York Times. On October 5, 2006, a press release declared that O.A.R. had officially sold in excess of 1.2 million albums over their career. The band attributes much of its popularity to the recording and subsequent trading and downloading of their live shows.
