“Rock & Roll Band” is a song American rock band Boston written by main songwriter and guitarist Tom Scholz and helped out by lead vocalist Brad Delp the song appears on the band’s 1976 self-titled debut.
It is one of many songs Scholz worked on in his basement in 1974 and 1975 before Boston got its record contract, five of which eventually appeared on the “Boston” album. The “Rock and Roll Band” demo was finished in 1974, along with three of the six. However, Scholz had begun writing the song years earlier (maybe two), in the early 1970s. The drum parts of this and other early Boston songs were developed by Jim Masdea, but this is the only song on the Boston album on which Masdea plays drums. Scholz plays clavinet and all the guitar parts, including bass guitar, and Brad Delp sings everything brilliantly. Boston consistently opened with “Rock and Roll Band” while playing at live concerts.
This song tells the story of a Boston rock band paying their dues: busking, sleeping in cars, playing the bar circuit. Eventually, they get a big break when a record company guy sees them perform and makes them a deal.
