The athletes from Russia may not enjoy competing under the "Olympic Athletes From Russia" or "OAR" designation as a result of a doping scandal.

But for the band, O.A.R., there really couldn't have been better timing.

They just released a new single and are planning a tour - and all of a sudden have seen an incredible uptick on Spotify according to the Washington Post and in Google searches according to the Boston Globe.

The band's lead singer, Marc Roberge, spoke to For The Win on Wednesday about the surprising ride.
