MY THOUGHTS ON RORY:
Rory is a Florida band that got it's start back in 1998. Not a lot of news out there on these guys. Their first release was an EP called "Always Right As In We Are", which dropped in 2004. Their first and only full length album was released in 2006, titled "We're Up To No Good, We're Up To No Good". This album was co-produced by Mark Hoppus of Blink 182. The band's only single that I know of came from this album, a song called "Deja Vroomier". The band broke up in 2007 with some members popping up in other projects but nothing major. Rory is a pop punk band. I definitely heard these guys around 2006. As I said in other "Song Of The Week" blogs, right around that time I called my "Taking Back Sunday" phase! I was really listening to a lot of pop punk/melodic rock type of bands at that time. Rory's one full length album isn't bad. It's a decent album. The band just never distinguished themselves amongst the top tier bands of that genre. Really, with only one album and one EP, it's kinda hard to leave a mark.
