Biography

Bandits of the Acoustic Revolution (commonly abbreviated BOTAR) is an acoustic band started by Tomas Kalnoky. Often viewed as a precursor to Streetlight Manifesto, BOTAR is recognized as something of a side-project. 2001 marked the release of their only recording to date, "A Call To Arms". With 5 songs, including an updated version of Catch 22's "Dear Sergio", and the future Streetlight Manifesto song "Here's To Life", this collection marked something of a transition for Kalnoky.

    Lyrics
    How did Camus really die that night? Were they right? When he died was it really his time, or was it suicide?
    Holden Caulfield is a friend of mine, we go drinking from time to time, and I find it gets harder every time.
    Three went down (But only two of them come up again)
    The minimal is criminal but less is a sin
    Though three went down (But only two of them come up again)

    Lyrics
    Once again I wake up alone on the wrong side of my bed. And once again you begin your dancing nakedly on the right side of my head. It's for a lack of better words that I can hardly speak my soul. And I'm feeling what I'm feeling when I'm feeling when it's time to lose control, my love.
    And once again we're off to war. But i can't agree with what we're fighting for. And that's not all, because every time she smiles I see her soul,when I smile what a wonderful life.
    It's true I used to try, but then I gave up. I learned it doesn't really matter, what I do ain't enough to appease or to please, all my well meaning deeds seem to all go up in smoke. And every time I look into these smoke filled skies I wonder what she's doing, why I volunteered to die. But tonight I will fight for my life so I might see my wife again.
    I explained to her that I'd be back.when I gave my word that the fighting wouldn't last. But despite my pact, I know that every breath I draw might be my last, and I smile: It's been a wonderful life.
    God damn, another summer in the city and I never seen a girl look so pretty as you when you smile oh you're wild for a while, I was hoping I might see you again. And I know that everybody is willing to go and I find I'll turn it all and leave on a dime. If I leave tonight (screw what's right) I can make it home by dawn.

    Lyrics
    Run, run, run all you do is fucking run
    But you’ll never run away from yourself
    I know it’s hard but you’ve been there before
    And you know you’re gonna be there again
    I don’t care what the stars may say

    Lyrics
    There is a man with no face and a name I don’t remember
    Always in the house in the middle of the woods and he said once
    “Son don’t you laugh out loud for they are listening
    Oh, they are listening, oh you’ve got to be strong
    Oh, you’ve got to keep holding on, it’s now just a matter of time”
