We Are Back!
11.02.2011 | posted by edpaffjr
First of all I would like to apologize for the recent downtime. I'm sure it came as a surprise to many of you, and the same is true for me. Due to some changes with our hosting company we were forced to upgrade the software that runs the back-end of our website. That took a considerable amount of time due to the complexity of the website. Not to mention other changes that were required in our code to comply with the updated architecture of our host. I think we have fixed all the issues, but there is always the possibility of new errors. Please let me know if you run into anything that is giving you problems or that is working differently than before. Hopefully now that the site is fully upgraded we can remain online for years to come!
Update (11.08.2011): Some of you may have noticed some hacking that was done to our news entries. This was due to an issue I made when updating our own code. This has been corrected. I can assure you that no personal information was compromised during the attack.
Update (11.09.2011): Contrary to earlier reports, the exploit had nothing to do with our custom code and was due to the back-end software. We've ugraded this software package to ensure that the hacking does not happen again. And we have now banned all past exploits to our system so these users cannot cause any further damage. Be gone and find your own playground.

Heard The World Chartiy Concert
09.28.2010 | posted by edpaffjr
We are very excited to announce O.A.R.'s first ever fundraising event for their Heard The World Fund. For those of you not familiar, The Heard The World Fund was created by the band in 2007 to support and provide resources to youth, education and sustainable programs both in the U.S. and abroad.
Join the guys on December 18th for "An Evening with O.A.R. – A Heard The World Fund Charity Concert" at The Music Center at Strathmore in Bethesda, MD near the band's hometown of Rockville, MD. The concert will benefit two local charities, The Levine School of Music and Neediest Kids.
The Levine School of Music is one of the nation's leading nonprofit community music schools which serves 3,700 students and provides extensive scholarship and outreach programs. Neediest Kids is an organization that provides much-needed funds to purchase resources and arrange for access to goods and services for students to stay in school and thrive.
Each attendee of the event will receive a recording of the night's show as well as a special event poster. Front row tickets and a meet and greet with the band will be available via a ticket auction at www.charityfolks.com/oar. All proceeds from ticket sales as well as the ticket auction will be donated directly to the Heard the World Fund and distributed to the two beneficiaries of the event.
Tickets for this special one-night-only event will go on sale Friday, September 24 and can be purchased at http://www.strathmore.org/eventstickets/calendar/view.asp?id=6569.

"Light Switch Sky" Release
06.10.2010 | posted by edpaffjr
Last June, O.A.R. asked you to help them write a song by submitting lyrics via twitter. After collecting submissions for 10 days on the @ofarevolution twitter page and much deliberation, the band chose 6 overall winners - 5 lyrical contributions, and one song title, "Light Switch Sky". The band created the music for "Light Switch Sky" using the lyrics as their driving inspiration. They recorded the writing sessions and shared them with you on their YouTube page.
