Band Members: "IT'S A LONG WAY TO THE TOP (IF YOU WANNA ROCK N ROLL)" Performed by Matt's Rocket Collection. Ain't that the truth! And if you don't like the minute long Bagpipe solo/intro you can kiss both my asses! Dr. Don and Kevin Arnold from the Omaha Strathdon Pipe band ROCK! They freakin' play for Guiness beer man! Now THAT is Rock n Roll! Plus, they are the only guys I know who can wear kilts and still look like they'll kick your ass. Enjoy the Video! div

Sounds Like: The sweat soaked, weathered road of rock and roll that M.R.C. has traveled during the past year has brought them to seedy small town bars across the Midwest, outdoor performances surrounded by the black of night and the bright of the moon, and indoor arenas packed with thousands of fans.

That long and winding road hasn't been without its share of scrapes, battles and detours for the band, who decided early on that its live performances would be nothing less than an audible and visual feast for rock fans longing for the days of AC/DC, Led Zeppelin and Black Sabbath.

They've been kicked out of neighborhood bars and baseball stadiums for being too loud, too young, too anything out of the ordinary; but have not relented, winning over fans of all generations.

The end result is always about the performance of the moment: giving fans the truest musical experience. M.R.C. grabs its fans with the purest forms of rock, melded with the roots of rock, jazz, rhythm and blues. They will grab you and refuse to let go.

They're not pretty. They're not quiet. They're not safe.

They're ugly. They're loud. They're fierce.

They are M.R.C.

They are Rock n Roll.
