Rock 'n' Roll Soldiers was an American punk rock band from Eugene, Oregon.
In 1997, the band was formed in Eugene, Oregon by four friends who met there in middle school. They named their group—of frontman Marty Larson-Xu, guitarist Kevin Sciou, bassist Evan Seroffsky, and drummer Oliver Brown—after a Radio Birdman concert tour of the same name. The band's early music tended to focus on the band's hometown and their dissatisfaction therewith; MTV described this work as punk (modeled after the Stooges and Radio Birdman) and garage rock (à la the Sonics)
Rock 'N' Roll Soldiers waded into professional performances with West-Coast openings for the Donnas and New Bomb Turks. After the band signed with Gearhead Records, for whom they produced two vinyl extended plays (EP), they signed to East West Records and rereleased those two EPs as a 37-minute punk album: The Two EPs. By 2005, the band was "touring constantly" and polishing their next album, So Many Musicians to Kill (expected spring 2006).
