RX Bandits are fearless. In a nervous era of record label focus groups, marketing strategies, and narrowly defined micro genres, it seems that the idea of the Transcendently Great Rock & Roll Band has been lost. Fortunately for us all, Southern California’s RX Bandits seem to have become exactly that. " Rx Bandits are the best  band to come out of Orange County in the past 10 years." heralds the OC Weekly.  RX bandits are a five-limbed live beast that thrives on a collaborative spirit of constant musical evolution. Their current release,  "…And the Battle Begun" is living proof that experimental music needn’t sound as if it were composed on calculators, that a band can be “prog” without the slightest hint of grandiosity, and that songs with advanced technical instrumentation and complex arrangements can make you move. It is a blisteringly cohesive organic opus of genre-leaping music, blending socially conscious lyrics with a soulful presentation that is propelled by a gravity-defying rhythm section. The band moves as one through difficult changes and improvisations, covering a vast territory of styles that ventures seamlessly from cataclysmic guitar riffs to reggae-inspired multi-layered grooves, always staying a step ahead.
