Background
SR-71 was an American rock band formed in Baltimore, Maryland, in 1998. They are best known for their 2000 single "Right Now", their 2002 single "Tomorrow", and as the original authors of Bowling for Soup's 2004 hit "1985". The name of the band came from SR-71 Blackbird, a supersonic surveillance aircraft of the United States Air Force. The band was originally known as Honor Among Thieves and Radiostar, and as was later the case with SR-71, lead singer and rhythm guitarist Mitch Allan was the only constant member.
