about
"I love the sound of what you guys are doing ... I think the band sounds great."
-Gary Dell'Abate (Baba Booey)
from The Howard Stern Show
"I love what you're doing. Musically, it's right in the pocket, and it's very exciting and it's well done."
-Harvey Leeds
Head of Promotions at EPIC Records for over 35 years, well-respected music industry veteran.
"It’s rare to hear such a strong sound and see so much commitment from such a young band... It’s incredible how far this band has come in just a year and this release is the highlight of their accomplishments."
-Band Aid Records
"Musically, the album is absolutely solid. It reminds me of a mix between Owl City and Matt & Kim, but on a grander scale that reminds you that the band still has something to prove; if not to themselves, then to the industry around them. The acoustic guitars blend beautifully with the use of a piano, giving you almost an older school type feel as you begin to listen to the album in its entirety. The lyrics sung are full of heart and meaning, giving the album a more personal and honest feel that so many bands have problems expressing."
-Static 180
"Guitars blaze with intricate glory while layering with the piano-driven melodies that cascade throughout this prelude to greatness. Lead man Brett Steinberg’s vocals soar with power reminiscent of Go Radio’s Jason Lancaster. This is a band with incredible aspirations that go beyond the simple desires of fame and fortune, ROTS wants to change this world with their music... "
- The Midnight Bandwidth
"Self categorized as “piano pop rock” this foursome is an unexpected mix of melodies reminiscent of acts like Jack’s Mannequin, Owl City and as strange as it may sound, I even detect a hint of Hinder in the opening track “New Empire”. However, the rest of the EP seems to follow a much mellower vibe, with calming acoustics, smooth vocals, and that which I’m most excited about-some beautiful, beautiful piano appearances. It’s true, I’m a sucker for any kind of keys, but the way ROTS blends these three main elements together would make any listener swoon."
-Infectious Magazine
"I must say my favorite track would have to be "Moonlight." Less is best, they say, and the toned-down feel of just a guitar strumming against the sweet, calming lyrics in this ballad is enough to make you really feel the meaning of the song. The lyrics, Forget diamond rings, we'll fly paper planes gets me every time. The creativity and just plain cute but clever lyrics in this song leave you with (sic) both inspired and love-struck."

VERSE
I'm staring
At a battle
Of who's wrong and who is right
There is no fixing
What has happened
'Cause no one's going to cease to fight
TRANSITION
Ohh-ohhh,
Time to fix this shattered home.
No one
Ever has to be alone.
CHORUS
And I don't know where
Where I will go
Cause it seems to be
The more I learn
The more there is to know
On how to try to be
A mark
In the sand
Of a long awaited plan.
VERSE
Resolution
To our madness
Is admitting to our desires.
Seen my dark side
But the horizon
Shows the world a new empire.
TRANSITION
Ohhh-aow
We build my house from dirt and stone
No one ever has to cry alone
CHORUS
And I don't know where
Where I will go
Cause it seems to be
The more I learn
The more there is to know
On how to try to be
A mark in the sand
Of a long awaited plan.
A mark in the sand
Of a long awaited plan.
Of the new empire. - Track Name: My Name
-
I feel alone when I close my eyes, knowing you're in another country
Walking with your own disguise, knowing that you'll never want me
My desires got tangled up, and become hard to manage
When your photograph pops up, next to a guy who speaks Spanish
I can hear your voice
I can feel your touch
The way you danced that night, but I know that's not enough
To hop on a plane
Different city, but both the same
But I'm the only one to blame
For the girl not knowing my name
Four years since I fell in love, with the look of a con-fused child
Years later and the child grew up, out of luck for quite some while
She's never known, and she's never asked, her direction has got no compass
But in the end, I'll reveal her mask, to find a cure to my madness
I can hear your voice
I can feel your touch
The way you danced that night, but I know that's not enough
To hop on a plane
Different city, but both the same
But I'm the only one to blame
For the girl not knowing my name
All the while
Maybe it's easier than I think
It just takes her smile
And I got another trip to the shrink
And I won't waste another year (High)
I can hear your voice
I can feel your touch
The way you danced that night, but I know that's not enough
To hop on a plane
Different city, but both the same
But I'm the only one to blame
For the girl not knowing my name - Track Name: She Is My Truth
-
There's something 'bout
The sky tonight
It lights the world up
to perfection
Tell me when
the time is right
to let me be
your protection
Meaning shines through
I'll get to you
Take me to the, open ocean, where I can meet the blurred horizon
Cause I've been searching, for a sign here, to lead me right beside here
She is my truth
She is my truth
We push and pull, like the tide, you tell me soon and it comes later
But if the moon, sets aside, then I'll be able to contain her
Meaning shines through
I'll get to you
Take me to the, open ocean, where I can meet the blurred horizon
Cause I've been searching, for a sign here, to lead me right beside her
She is my truth
She is my truth - Track Name: Moonlight
-
A moment in time, floating in space
the steps that led to this I cannot retrace
We're dancing on moonlight tonight
I look at you looking at me with your eyes
you strip me of what I'm hiding, my disguise
we're dancing on moonlight tonight
And it seems to be
that you and me
Have something they cannot see, when it's not bright
We're dancing on moonlight tonight
Forget diamond rings, we'll fly paper planes
Your skin against mine, what else keeps me sane?
Dancing on moonlight tonight
One night well spent, turn to tomorrows dawn
The sun rise appears, as quick as it is gone
Dancing on moonlight tonight
And it seems to be
that you and me
Have something they cannot see, when it's not bright
We're dancing on moonlight tonight
If all I've said is true
and I'd never lie to you
A perfect moon has always been a sign
So won't you be mine - Track Name: Disappear
-
I wake up
And the morning light sings to me
I've got no time to lose
I'm singing black and blues
You're right here.
Turn my head
I'm captivated by your eyes
Glances intertwine
Looks lost in time
You're still here.
Don't disappear
Don't disappear
Love your words
But I'm still stung by your lies
And the voice in the back of my mind
Tells me its not right.
Don't disappear
Don't disappear
Cause I've been running through the valley
Of an unsettled kiss
To find the solution I seem to have missed
But I
Can't get through to you
And I don't really love her
I've said it before
I wonder how you're hurting thinking that I want more
But you
Are through
With me.
Don't disappear.
Don't disappear
