What is RTZ?
A. RTZ (which stands for Return To Zero) was a band formed by Brad Delp and Barry Goudreau around 1989/90. The other members included Brian Maes (keyboards, harmonica), Tim Archibald (bass) and David Stefanelli (drums). They were managed by Paul Ahern, the former manager for BOSTON and Tom Scholz. RTZ released one album, titled _Return To Zero_, in 1991, and the group also toured to support it. RTZ split up in 1994, with the three non-BOSTON members joining Peter Wolf’s band. Brian Maes has released two solo albums (_13_ and _The Seed_), which featured contributions from Stefanelli and Archibald. He also recorded a solo version of RTZ’s “Until Your Love Comes Back Around,” which was included on _The Seed_. In 1998 it was announced that a second RTZ album would be released. Tentatively titled _The Lost_, it will reportedly contain mostly previously-written material. It is slated to be released in August 1998 on the Swedish-based MTM label.
