The Soldiers are known for their energetic live performances, which typically involve the dismantling of Oliver's drum kit, guitarist Kevin Sciou playing a swirling lead while in the midst of the crowd and the singer jumping into the audience with the kick drum.
Due to Atlantic continually stalling the release of the Rock 'n' Roll Soldiers' album because the label wanted a bigger fan base, the soldiers left the label. They got to keep all their music and produced "So Many Musicians to Kill" under their own label, RnRS Records. It was officially released on July 21, 2006. Since their departure from Atlantic, they started their own record label, and "So Many Musicians to Kill" was released on iTunes on August 22, 2006.
Rock n Roll Soldiers made a DIY tour in Europe at the beginning of 2008. Due to complications from the tour they currently cannot afford the release of their new album.

Rock 'n' Roll Soldiers Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Garfunkel just killed Simon
My mouth just keeps on climbin'
Up, up, up, up, up, and I'm in
Ok, our music's violent
Explodes like dynamite and
Light bulbs but no ideas
We're the cold hand slidin' down your own shirt
We're the last of the Rock 'N' Roll Soldiers
We're the bad man comin' and it won't hurt
We're the mother fuckin' Rock 'N' Roll Soldiers
That's right we're comin' in
Don't lose, we always win
We'll tell it like it is
EVERYBODY IS OUR BITCH!!
If you don't agree with this
Take a second and try our chips
Roasted to perfection
Flavorful, not flavorless
We're the cold hand slidin' down your own shirt
We're the last of the Rock 'N' Roll Soldiers
We're the bad man comin' and it won't hurt
We're the mother fuckin' Rock 'N' Roll Soldiers
(Various screams)
We're the cold hand slidin' down your own shirt
We're the mother fuckin' Rock 'N' Roll Soldiers
We're the bad man comin' and it won't hurt
We're the mother fuckin' Rock 'N' Roll Soldiers
We're the cold hand slidin' down your own shirt
We're the mother fuckin' Rock 'N' Roll Soldiers
We're the bad man comin' and it won't hurt
We're the mother fuckin' Rock 'N' Roll Soldiers
I'm a mother fuckin' Rock 'N' Roll Soldier
The lyrics to Rock 'n' Roll Soldiers’s song “Anthem” express their confidence as a rock band and their desire to conquer the music industry. The opening lines, “Turn off the sound of silence, Garfunkel just killed Simon,” refers to the iconic folk-rock duo Simon & Garfunkel and the end of their partnership. This suggests that Rock 'n' Roll Soldiers are ready to take over as the new face of rock music. The next few lines express their belief that their music is explosive and powerful without necessarily having a deep underlying message. They also establish a strong sense of dominance, proclaiming that “everybody is our bitch.” The repetitive lines “We're the cold hand slidin' down your own shirt, We're the last of the Rock 'N' Roll Soldiers” reiterate their confidence and self-proclaimed position at the top of the rock music hierarchy. The song ends with a final declaration of their status as rock stars and their intention to take over the music world.

I first heard them on some indie radio playlist back in the mid-2000s. Wish they still made music. :\
