Eugene OR, United States (1997 – present)

The Rock ‘n’ Roll Soldiers are a rock band from Eugene, Oregon formed in 1997. Its members are: Marty Larson-Xu (vocals, guitar), Oliver Brown (drums), and Evan Seroffsky (bass guitar). The lead guitarist on “The Two EPs” and “So Many Musicians to Kill”, Kevin Sciou, left the band in pursue of country music. Their sound has been described as “skuzzy, sleazy punk tailored for drinking, fighting and tattooing” by MTV News reporter James Montgomery. Larson-Xu himself describes it as high energy old-school rock and roll with a “greater modern sensibility” (Rocket Net Webzine).

The Soldiers are known for their energetic live performances, which typically involve the dismantling of Oliver’s drum kit, guitarist Kevin Sciou playing a swirling lead while in the midst of the crowd, and a charismatic Larson-Xu presiding over and playing into the mayhem as much as possible.

Due to Atlantic continually stalling the release of the Rock ‘n’ Roll Soldiers’ album because the label wanted a bigger fan base, the soldiers left the label. They got to keep all their music and produced “So Many Musicians to Kill” under their own label, RnRS Records. It was officially released on July 21, 2006. Since their departure from Atlantic, they have signed with Beverly Martel, and “So Many Musicians to Kill” was released on iTunes on August 22, 2006.

Rock n Roll Soldiers made a DIY tour in Europe at the beginning of 2008. Due to complications from the tour they are currently penurious and cannot afford the release of their new album.
