The rise of singing sensations Erin "Rin" Perey and Roxanne "Rox" Ilano, known officially as "Rin on the Rox", has been nothing short of meteoric.
After meeting at a high school in California in 2004, it wasn't until 2008 when they started to post covers of their favourite songs on YouTube that they became known. And why not? Everyone else was doing it, and these girls actually had the talent.The fans started requesting their favourite songs, and Erin and Roxanne were more than happy to oblige.
With hundreds of thousands of channel views, it wasn't long before talk show host, Ellen DeGeneres (The Ellen Show) took notice early in 2009.
Maybe it was their talent, or maybe it was the quirkiness of them using their bathroom as their studio, but whatever it was, Ellen was so impressed (especially after viewer feedback received by the show), she invited them onto her show in person. This led to singing in the Ellen Show bathroom, as well as a red carpet gig at the Grammys, but it also spawned the brilliant "Ellen Show Bathroom Concert Series".However, the appearance on the Ellen Show was a two-edged sword.
Not only did it bring Rin on the Rox many new fans, but also brought them to the attention of the YouTube copyright team. Sadly, and controversially, their channel was removed due to copyright infringement. You can read more about that in the "Rin on the Rox YouTube channel cancelled" article.
But don't worry - it has a very happy ending (or beginning, as the case may be). The girls will soon be releasing a brand new single titled "Torture".
Here's the prediction. This song will chart. No doubt. They already have a HUGE fan base, and the song is as good (if not better than) as any of the covers they have performed. What can I say. We'll be hearing much more from these girls in the coming years - but maybe not so much from their bathroom!
Anyway, you don't need to take our word about how good the single is - we're happy to say you can listen to an exclusive snippet of "Torture" right now.
And, as Erin and Roxanne would say:
LIKE IT, LOVE IT, HATE IT, WHATEVER... JUST ENJOY IT!
