| | Just over one year ago, we released our debut EP "A Call To Arms" which brought us more attention than we honestly expected. Each CD case was handmade, to go hand in hand with our musical/ethical/aesthetic style, and therefore at times we fell behind in producing them fast enough to fulfill orders. As of this week, we've officially sold out of the last batch of BOTAR cds. With our busy lives, we just can't keep up with demand, as making each cd takes so long. We’ve kept a handful for personal use and keepsakes, but as of now there are no plans to make or sell any more copies of “A Call To Arms”. For those of you who have a copy, hang on to them. We appreciate your support and hopefully you will be able to add to your BOTAR cd collection soon (or not so soon, knowi More...

Kalnoky never ceases to amaze me by taking a classic and making it better by adding onto this song and making it a complete work of art "Sergio laughed for the last time today,he said it doesn't really bother me we all have dues to pay..." Genius!!! He later goes to cover his very own Keasbey Nights in which he redoes this song and adds lyrics to several others such as Day in Day out and others, if you do not have The re-release of Keasbey Nights I reccomend grabbing it,a definite polished gem. Keasbey Nights after all was one of the single most important albums in Ska/Punk revival. Amazing | Reviewer: Chayanne ------ About the song It's A Wonderful Life performed by Bandits Of The Acoustic Revolution I have brothers in the military right now whom are going through something similar to this song, especiallyy my older brother Xavian who just got married recently and has to leave soon. I am about to go out the and join them in a fight where we never know exactly what we're fighting for. The acoustics of this song are amazing and i love the orchestral sound of the music, I almost wish that Kalnoky would do more of this, especially with some of Streetlight's Somewhere in the between, Fourty days would sound amazing! why do i have to enter a title this is dumb | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song Here's To Life performed by Bandits Of The Acoustic Revolution >It isn't all about suicide, but quitting in general. >Salinger didn't kill himself, and in fact isn't even dead. He simply chose to stop publishing works in 1965. Kalnoky knows this, and set him up as the hero of the song. He sees it as a much better way of dealing with the stress of becoming famous. He didn't quit anything, he just retreated from the public eye because he couldn't stand it. And in the liner notes, he said that he believes Camus' death was a suicide, and while it was "never proven either way," you should look up the details for yourself. The liner notes for the song: | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song Here's To Life performed by Bandits Of The Acoustic Revolution "Ahh, this is an old one. Written a good three years ago, I'm just ecstatic that the song finally made it onto tape (metaphorically of course; we're much too technologically advanced to bother with "tape", haha). I'd finished it while still in another group I was running with at the time and somehow I wasn't crazy about how it sounded. I then decided a new type of band was necessary to bring a song like this to fruition and the Bandits were born. As for the subject matter, yeesh, I guess it's on the heavier side of things. Why does it seem that all my favorite artists/writers/musicians decide to remove themselves from our world by violent means? After writing this song I unfortunately got to experience the ripple effect of a suicide and needless to say, the song took on new meaning and importance. When an individual takes his own life, he kills a lot more than himself. I think I've said more than I wanted to on this subject so I'll move on. (And for the fact-nerds: I know Camus' death was never proved to be self-inflicted, read the details and make your own conclusions) And I know Salinger didn't commit suicide: he's the hero here. So many talented people can't grasp or even withstand the pressures of a public life following success. Salinger, in my opinion at least, handled it so much more beautifully than the others that are mentioned: he simply disappeared from the light that seemed to hurt him more than help him. OK, I'll shut up now." Meh | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song Here's To Life performed by Bandits Of The Acoustic Revolution It isn't all about suicide, but quitting in general. Salinger didn't kill himself, and in fact isn't even dead. He simply chose to stop publishing works in 1965. Camus didn't commit suicide either, and was vehemently opposed to the taking of one's own life in his novels and essays on absurdism. Seen in this light, the first verse is more of a joke used to establish the singer's philosophical knowledge and viewpoint than anything else. Camus is associated with forging on and creating your own purpose in a universe that lacks meaning. The other three artists did, of course, kill themselves: Hemingway and Cobain with shotguns, Van Gogh with a revolver. Caulfield is apparently just another reference to depression and Kalnoky's adoration of Salinger, as Holden is the main character in The Catcher in the Rye. sorta | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song Here's To Life performed by Bandits Of The Acoustic Revolution i dont think he's saying he is a nihilist and i dont think he's choosing not to commit suicide because he has something to live for. to think that would negate the purpose of the entire song. where he can understand what all these great artists were thinking who were nihilists, he sees the beauty in living and chooses life i love this song | Reviewer: me ------ About the song It's A Wonderful Life performed by Bandits Of The Acoustic Revolution definitely some of the best lyrics ever written, and the music is genius. but honestly, the lyrics make me want to cry, and i'm not that type of person at all. they're just so meaningful with the war and everything going on right now. nihilism? | Reviewer: Taja ------ About the song Here's To Life performed by Bandits Of The Acoustic Revolution First off I'd like to say this is a very beautifully written song... OMG. Yes, well anyways I have a question: Is Tomas saying he is nihilistic but he won't commit suicide(because he has something to live for), or is he saying that while all of his heroes were nihilists, he refuses to accept that system of belief and continues to live as a protest?? Little things | Reviewer: SkaKid185@gmail.com ------ About the song Dear Sergio: performed by Bandits Of The Acoustic Revolution You act so free you act so free everbody is laughing cuz you act so free its all cool man thats a hard part to understand. Take this out of paragraph form. A song is poetry put to music. yes... | Reviewer: lindsey ------ About the song It's A Wonderful Life performed by Bandits Of The Acoustic Revolution i agree this song is musical genius... but they lyrics are some of the best ive ever seen written There is a BOTAR version | Reviewer: Jeff ------ About the song It all Goes Numb performed by Bandits Of The Acoustic Revolution Actually, there IS a BOTAR version floating around somewhere. It was made before they recorded it as Streetlight with Victory Records. If you have AIM, im Drubixcube911. He has it They both do it | Reviewer: Bill ------ About the song It all Goes Numb performed by Bandits Of The Acoustic Revolution theres a few similar members in both Streetlight Manifesto and BOTAR, Everything Went Numb is a remake of It All Goes Numb. both good songs either way. Origanally done by these guys... | Reviewer: Jason ------ About the song It all Goes Numb performed by Bandits Of The Acoustic Revolution This album was made way before Everything Goes Numb, Tomas Kalnoky has been in Catch 22, B.O.T.A.R, and most recently Streetlight Manifesto and tends to remake a lot of songs like the whole album Keasby Nights, i personally think the Streetlight Manifesto version Sounds better...yeah What are you waiting for?! | Reviewer: Eddie ------ About artist/band Bandits Of The Acoustic Revolution If you have not heard the gem that is B.O.T.A.R, you are missing out. Tom Kalnoky and his buddies,have great musical contributions to today's clogged mainstream of what people claim is "music." If you have not partaken in the orgy of musical and lyrical greatness, what are you waiting for?! Jump on it! Just keep some napkins nearby if and when your ears start oozing with goodness. Keep up the good work Tom Not BOTAR | Reviewer: Josh ------ About the song It all Goes Numb performed by Bandits Of The Acoustic Revolution This song isn't by BOTAR man. Yeah, Tom sang it and wrote it, but it's a Streetlight Manifesto song. End of story. FUCKING GREAT | Reviewer: SKASKANK1 ------ About artist/band Bandits Of The Acoustic Revolution Tomas k is an extremely talented song writer and insane on the guitar, a mastermind that has the ability to create extremly good music and awesome lyrics, the best of any ska band out there...the only small negative is repetion and alot of similiaties in lyrics, but that in no shape or way bruises the beatiful music that this bands plays FUCKIN A++++++++++++ check it. | Reviewer: andy ------ About the song It all Goes Numb performed by Bandits Of The Acoustic Revolution Tomas, the lead singer and guitarist of Catch 22, Bandits of the Acoustic Revolution, and currently Streetlight Manifesto tends to remake certain songs. just look at the entire Keasby Nights album. It All Goes Numb was done on A Call To Arms and was redone as Everything Goes Numb by Streetlight Manifesto. I'm not positive | Reviewer: kate ------ About the song It all Goes Numb performed by Bandits Of The Acoustic Revolution I think it's actually streetlight manifesto that does this song Not BOTAR. | Reviewer: Luke ------ About the song It all Goes Numb performed by Bandits Of The Acoustic Revolution This song is not Bandits of the Acoustic Revolution...it is Streetlight Manifesto and it is called Everything Went Numb. pure musical genius | Reviewer: t w ------ About artist/band Bandits Of The Acoustic Revolution i seriously doubt their exists a better combination of lyrical mastermind and complete musical talent You could review the artist/band Bandits Of The Acoustic Revolution in Biography page You could review Bandits Of The Acoustic Revolution album by visiting Albums page and selecting an album You could review Bandits Of The Acoustic Revolution song by clicking the song which you like | | |||||||||
