Now, four more hope to do the same and they are from right here in Iowa. Adam Ptacek, Matt Olson, Jason Ptacek and T.J. Kammer make up Rearview Mirror, of Cresco. Adam is on vocals, Matt on guitar, Jason on bass and T.J. on the drums. "Together since junior high, Olson said the group has really grown over the years. Influences like Tool and Pearl Jam, who are 'good rock bands that write good songs,' are what inspire the band. 'All of our interests have broadened. Before, we wanted to write a heavier song, now we just want to write a good song,' he said. "Rearview Mirror has been on tour since early March. The band spent time in Florida and then headed back to the Midwest for more 'local' touring. 'We are excited (about touring), and it is fun for us to be able to get out and play all around,' Olson said. 'We are just excited to finally get to play in Iowa.' "Michael Cross, of Rock 108, said the phones are ringing 'off the hook' in Waterloo for 'In the Beginning,' the band's first release off their upcoming album. The song was ranked number two in most requested songs last week." ...This week, it's NUMBER 1!!!----> www.rock108.com/most_requested.htm ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ >>REARVIEW MIRROR ON THE RADIO We're still months away from the release of REARVIEW MIRROR's debut LP, ALL LIGHTS OFF, and Iowa radio listeners - most notably, fans of Rock 108 in Waterloo and Lazer 103.3 in Des Moines - are already showing their support BIG TIME for first song "In the Beginning."

The touring has been going really well. We are getting some great new fans and it is all thanks to all of you out there being excited about the band and telling your friends. Because of you guys we had two sold out shows this past weekend. The first on April 11th in Cedar Falls, IA and the second on April 12th at the Warehouse in LaCrosse, WI. We had a great time playing and reaching a lot of new listeners. So keep on telling your friends and we will keep on playing as often as we can. Because that's what we like to do. thanks matt o rearview.mirror An RVM Street Team member recently wrote this of his experience at the foursome's March show at Chicago's Metro... "They absolutely radiate. They pour out massive amounts of energy with every beat played...It puts an end to quiet thought and you are forced to think aloud. They've practiced for years to stand in front of a wanting crowd and give every ounce of energy away. It is amazing. I've noticed that they can rock anyone...from people who like metal to people who like lighter music or even both...they just know how to entertain anyone and everyone. They can play like no other. They effin rock." In addition to return appearances at Midwest rock clubs, RVM will also be hitting the college scene, with MANY dates yet to come. Don't miss your chance to think aloud when RVM turn the Mirror on your town...
