Of A Revolution (or O.A.R.) is a pretty popular mainstream rock band. I'm pretty sure they played at one of those televised New Years events this year, and whether you know it or not, you probably would recognize some of their popular songs.
There studio stuff is OK, but I have to say, I was never really super impressed by it. I've always thought they have a cool sound though, and are definitely talented musicians, and I like how they incorporate the Sax into their songs without sounding too ska. However, as it also seems to be the case with many other bands, my opinion of O.A.R.'s music totally pivoted once I heard this live album "34th and 8th." Give it a listen, it has an awesome energy, and all of the songs have a much more jammy vibe.
This one is two discs. Here is Disc 1 and Disc 2
I remember a bunch of my friends went to see them at the Nokia in LA back in like February. i think i got hammered by myself and listened to all my High on Fire albums that night instead.
