Rx Bandits are a five-member band based in Seal Beach, California. Their musical style is an eclectic mix of ska, punk, progressive rock, and reggae.

The band started out amid other popular southern California ska-influenced acts such as Reel Big Fish and No Doubt. Of the original line-up, only singer/songwriter Matt Embree and drummer Chris Tsagakis remain. Their first two releases were recorded with bassist James Salomone and trombonist Rich Balling. Upon signing to Drive-Thru Records, the band released the album Halfway Between Here and There, a straightforward third-wave ska effort, though lyrics in songs such as "Gun In Your Hand" hinted towards the political leanings which would be evident in their subsequent releases.

They are notable for their strong political views, which they share with fans through periodic website posts. They have toured with such bands as label mates New Found Glory and Finch, as well as with Desa, The Exit and Keziah Jones. They have also appeared on the Vans Warped Tour.

Their live shows are known for being highly energetic, with pre-rehearsed jams in between songs. They perform extended versions of many numbers; they fall somewhat short of being a full fledged "jam band," however it is fair to say that they exhibit musicianship live that is not captured by their recordings.

With 2001's Progress, the band took a huge step forward musically.

Considering how much the average indie fan likes ska Im pretty sure the term prog-ska is going to make the run screaming into a corner with their fingers in their ears. However thats the best way to describe the latest masterpiece by the Rx Bandits. Like a Mars Volta who can actually write memorable SONGS, remember those, the Bandits mix punk and reggae with jazz and progressive rock with jaw dropping skill. If this record doesnt have you playing air drums you A) dont have arms and its alright or B) are deaf.

"In All Rwanda's Glory"

what do you wanna be
would you fight for your country
leaders say "why don't you pick up a gun and shoot at somebody"
but they're only gonna protect you if that dollar sign is right
there's a war in every nation but we turn our heads tonight

human rights went on vacation
money took over a long time ago
cry for this racial war
in all rwanda's glory
there ain't no glory in a war ain't no glory

a black man or a white man
or an asian or a mexican
or an african or a south african
or a serbian or a libyan
you're all one race, the human race
just a different smile for a different face

"Infection"

this is the first time that i've ever told the truth before
to scrutinize what we call fate
belief in more of what's been forced into subconscious's
hold my breath, hope to refrain

is love an infection or a sick addiction
when there's nowhere left to run to
is love an infection or a sick addiction
when there's nowhere left, this crush is broken

her empty needle is my unsharpened sword
i stab, i stab, i stab, but i can't puncture
don't wanna let it, don't wanna feel it
don't wanna hear it, don't even wanna think about it
hold my breath , hope to refrain

and if i can't afford her my veins begin to ache
i don't wanna feel this pain no more
have you ever felt so high that when you came down
you broke inside
i know she won't take the blame

you love me, you rip my heart out
you've broken me for to long now

"Gun In Your Hand"

hey whatcha doin?
with that gun in your hand?
now who ya skrewin?
gonna kill your old man.
who gave you the right to play god here?
shootin missles at the countries of the people that did no wrong.
there's a little mama san with her baby in her cradle cryin'
singin why the fuck can't we just get along?
hey whatcha thinkin?
holding money behind your back.
you, you must be drinking.
gonna give yourself a heart-attack
we can't fight all night!
well you won't see me on that fucking front line
i ain't gonna kill no stranger and i ain't gonna do time
because its 1,2,3 that's an innocent life
oh and little sister, sister where's your brother today?
i wish that i could tell you that he's gonna be ok
but i can't and i won't tonight.
i can see a soldier marching off to war.
does he know what he is fighting for?
another soldier gone off to attack
but will he come back?

çok çok sıkı bir konserdi, minnacık mekanda, salladılar sahneyi vallahi.

bir ara ön grubun davulcusu da katıldı şova bir de perküsyon girince üç davul birden dambada dumbudu seyirciler birbirine giriyor stage diving falan derken birdoksanlık boyuma bakmadan sahneye çıkıp atlayacaktım ben de neredeyse.

birkaç favori parçamı çalmadılar, örneğin in all rwanda's glory, nugget, analog boy. sonra bir düşündüm de bu parçalar konser parçası değil pek. aslında nugget güzel olurdu ama tek tromboncu ile çıktılar, sanırım küçük mekanlarda çok nefesli olan parçaları ve reggae ağırlıklı parçaları çalmıyorlar. genelde sert ve hızlı parçalar çaldılar.

helal olsun diyorum kendilerine.

hey gidi, rx banidts dağıldılar mı bilmiom albümleri bi değişik olmuştu en son ama kopmuşum bu gruptan..

soulseek'ten buldum, harbiden çalmışlar, gerçi soloları biraz kırpmışlar gibi ama hakkını da vermişler cidden
