Album-oriented rock (abbreviated AOR) is an American FM radio format focusing on album tracks by rock artists. AOR evolved from progressive rock radio in the mid-1970s, using research and formal programming to create an album rock format with greater commercial appeal.
The U.S. state of North Carolina never has been a hotbed for rock n’ roll – Eighties AOR-pomp greats SUGARCREEK should be the only act we remember emerging from there – but now NC should be proud of PAGEANT a hard-hitting 4-piece rockin’ band based in High Point, built to revive the rock ‘n’ roll golden era for a new generation.
