Rooms by the Hour is an album by the American band Rustic Overtones, released in 1998. The album drew the attention of several major labels, leading to the band's contract with Arista Records.

Critical reception

The Providence Journal thought that the band "blends fast-paced lyrics in a G. Love style and the instrumentation of a ska band—percussion, sax, another upright bass—to 'Feast or Famine'."

AllMusic wrote that the "energetic, horn-powered rock incorporates elements of jazz and R&B."
