很少合唱團的事業能維持55年不變，更少見的是它們的團員還是原班人馬，只有一個例外：The Ides of March歷經55年後還能推出新專輯，這個合唱團剛推出了Play On，除了們的經典之作"Vehicle"還有14首新歌。
新專輯作曲人有他們的創始團員Jim Peterik，他寫過"Eye of the Tiger"，是幫Survivor合唱團寫的暢銷曲，也在 Grand Funk Railroad合唱團的Mark Farner、 Ambrosiar合唱團 主唱 David Pack和 Paul Shaffer 去上David Letterman的訪談節目 Late Night with David Letterman fame 的時候幫忙過。
除了CD外，數位下載與串流都會有，Play On 專輯同時會出一套二張的豪華懷舊版專輯，其中包括他們在Parrot and Warner Brothers唱片公司的成名之作，從當年錄音母帶輸出的單曲“Vehicle”，另加“You Wouldn’t
Listen”、 “One Woman Man”、 “Roller Coaster”、 “Flipside” 、“Superman”、 “LA Goodbye”
及 “Aire Of Good Feeling"。
The
Ides 十月26日將於芝加哥附近Waukegan的Genesee Theater，展示他們的新專輯和老歌加一個意外禮物，Mark Farner和American Idol 「美國偶像」的Bo Bice將是特別來賓。
搖滾樂團The Ides Of March成立於芝加哥，主唱是Jim Peteric，他後來在Survivor合唱團擔任過鍵琴手。
The
Ides Of March的成名曲“Vehicle”於1970年獲得過第2名，但其它的歌名次都在top 40之外，是個曇花一現的One-Hit Wonder合唱團。
