Yes, they have babyfaces but don't let it fool you. This Toms River, NJ band brings a pop/punk sound that actually won't annoy the shit outta you.

Vote for the RiO!B’s panel for SXSW 2011

Wednesday, August 11th, 2010

Earlier this year I went to South by Southwest in Austin, TX and it probably was the best time I've had this year so far. Music pouring out into the streets, the discovering of new bands and meeting my fellow bloggers for the first time. I decided there and then that I would return in 2011.
But the Rock it Out! Blog is taking it one step further this time around. We're hoping to present a panel next year and we need your help to get it there. Our panel… Read More

Listen: Limp Bizkit – “Walking Away”

Wednesday, August 11th, 2010
I'm going to be upfront with you. I'm no Limp Bizkit fan. Like, at all. Their music got tired really quick during the early 00's and I really wanted them to go away. I still want them to go away but some of you guys remain loyal fans. Which is why I offer you their newest song called "Walking Away"....which is what I still want them to do.

It's from their their forthcoming album, Gold Cobra, which as of right now has no release date. But it is… Read More
