O.A.R. - November 2005 Relix Issue

The November 2005 Relix issue features our O.A.R. cover story and much more! A couple of friends in high school start a band and record their first album in their parents' basement. As the O.A.R. story goes, big things can happen to small bands with a vision. Ten years later O.A.R. are on a major label, have gone gold and routinely pack big venues across the country. And they're only getting started. A decade removed from the Rockville, MD, basement where the band was born, the members of O.A.R. are both in awe of their success and eager to test the band's limits. "It's not about bigger," says Marc Roberge. "It's not for the money, because we only get like 12 cents out of every record. It's for that burning desire as a human being to get better." The band's new Jerry Harrison-produced Stories of a Stranger might just move them up a few rungs on the ladder of success. But will they still pass unnoticed in a crowd of their own fans? This issue also includes articles and features on Ratdog, Bonnie Raitt, Camp Bisco IV, Bob Dylan, Shannon Hoon, Stephen Perkins, Bo Bice, Uncle Earle, Gabby La La, and more!
