[ROCK] O.A.R.’s (Of a Revolution) music is a charming blend of easy rock and light reggae that plays in the same vein as modern rock outfits like Matchbox Twenty, The Fray and UB40. However, unlike these contemporaries, the Maryland-based quintet truly rose to fame by garnering a dedicated cult following through relentless concerts and music sharing. By the time of their 2008 album, All Sides, they had become a widespread phenomenon in the rock scene, boasting radio-ready hits like “This Town” and “Shattered.” Their 2013 release, King waded further into the reggae-punk waters, but with a strong undercurrent of well-constructed hooks. Catch O.A.R. with The Hunts at Artpark on Wednesday, August 3.
