Biography

There are two acts that use the RTZ name:

1) RTZ began as collaboration between Brad Delp and Barry Goudreau around 1989. Goudreau and Delp were both part of the original Boston line-up, and after Barry’s departure from the band, they stayed in close contact with Delp contributing to Goudreau’s solo album and also to a lesser degree on the Orion the Hunter album.

Around 1989 Delp was on hiatus from Boston and looking to get active in writing again. He contacted Goudreau about collaboration. Goudreau and Delp brought in keyboardist Brian Maes who was part of the Orion the Hunter touring band, drummer Dave Stefanelli and bass player Tim Archibald. Maes and Stefanelli had previously worked with producer Nick Lowe in England and Archibald’s band New Man had released an album on Epic.

Delp and Goudreau landed a deal with Giant Records and the first RTZ album, titled Return to Zero was released in 1991. A video was produced for the first single “Face the Music”. The band soon hit the road and Delp gave Boston his notice.

After touring the US extensively, a video was prepared for the single “Until Your Love Comes Back Around” penned by keyboard player Brian Maes originally for ex J. Geils Band singer Peter Wolf. The single was very successful and reached #1 in several markets.

    I think 'RTZ - Until Your Love Comes Back Around' is the perfect counterpart to 'Nothing Compares To You' by Sinead O'Connor.

    This cd just never gets old. Sure, there are some so-so songs. But in my opinion, "Until Your Love Comes Back Around” is the best song Boston never recorded.

    RTZ might as well have been Boston since Delp was the lead singer and practically carried this album. Boston could have done all these songs; they're all so great! Just an awsome Album all around. The only diffrence is that the guitar and little kinks here and there make this band diffrent than Boston.

    The RTZ album is almost as good as a Boston album :)
