About
We Came As Romans continue to progress and evolve at lightspeed, maintaining a place at the forefront of heavy music and culture.
Never content to follow, they seamlessly alchemize crushing groove-driven catharsis, spacey electronics, and arena-size singalongs into a sound that refuses to sit still, naturally dipping in and out of metal, alternative, hardcore, and rock without breaking a sweat. Since emerging in 2005, the Michigan quintet--Joshua Moore [guitar], Dave Stephens [vocals], Lou Cotton [guitar], Andy Glass [bass], and David Puckett [drums]--have pushed the envelope. Following To Plant A Seed [2009] and Understanding What We've Grown To Be [2011], Tracing Back Roots cracked the Top 10 of the Billboard 200 and catapulted to #1 on the Independent Albums Chart and Top Hard Rock Albums Chart in 2013. Two years later, We Came As Romans bowed at #11 on the Billboard 200, while Alternative Press hailed 2017's Cold Like War as "a milestone for WCAR." Along the way, they sold out successive headline tours and shared stages with A Day To Remember, Bring Me The Horizon, I Prevail, The Used, Sleeping With Sirens, Parkway Drive, and more.
During 2018, the group weathered the tragic loss of original clean vocalist Kyle Pavone. However, the musicians kindled a newfound strength in the wake of Kyle's passing. This energy surged through Darkbloom in 2022. Produced by Drew Fulk [Knocked Loose, Lil Wayne, Disturbed], it earned some of the highest praise of their career. Beyond applause from Loudwire, Consequence, and more, KERRANG! rated it "4-out-of-5 stars," going on to praise the LP as "both a carrier for a knot of emotion, and a tribute to their friend." Not to mention, it yielded two of the most successful tracks of their career. "Black Hole" [with Caleb Shomo of BEARTOOTH] eclipsed 102 million-plus Spotify streams, and "Daggers" [with Zero 9:36] generated north of 32 million Spotify streams.
Moving forward yet again, they ignite another era with the 2025 single "BAD LUCK." On the track, an electronic vocal loop gives way to a thick and trudging battering ram riff. A head-nodding rhythm seethes beneath the verses as Dave wonders, "Been fighting for space with all the same ghosts, am I spinning out of control?" It culminates on a chantable chorus, "I spent all my life wondering why the bad luck always comes so easy...All this time, I've realized the worse things in life are free."
About "BAD LUCK," the Dave said, "Bad Luck is a song that is so important to each of us. Lyrically, it's about our journey as a band since the very beginning. We've faced so many setbacks and problems behind the scenes, and sometimes it feels like Bad Luck is all we have - but the way that we've persevered through all of them to become who we are today is the real story, not the issues along the way."
As always, We Came As Romans level up again with more music to come in 2025 and beyond.

WCAR show in anahiem

WCAR has upped their game
by styfle on 12/20/11City National Grove of Anaheim - AnaheimRating: 5 out of 5I really like We Came As Romans on the album, but I didn't get to excited over the show at Warped Tour. I don't know if it was because of the location, the mix, the energy, or just a combination of it all. At The Grove, they totally killed it! The mix was good, the clean vocals were actually...clean, and the energy was at a all time high. Even after listening to, what seemed like, 15 bands before them, they still sounded great through all the ringing in my ears. On a side note, The Grove is a great venue and it's sad to see how the kids trash it. I'm pretty sure kids were smoking in doors at one point. It's rare to see these kinds of bands play at that venue so I hope they continue to open the doors to the fans.
Bands were amazing
by Cersk on 12/20/11City National Grove of Anaheim - AnaheimRating: 4 out of 5I found all of the bands that played to be amazing. The only thing I would change is the venue for this type of concert and bands. With the level separators, cutting of the size of the moshpits and crowds, it became somewhat awkward and caused a lot of people who did not want to be in the mosh pits to get stuck up against some one else

This was a pretty amazing show. I got the tickets for my boyfriend and a friend who love this band, as well as the other bands that played. I hadn't listened to much of the music and hadn't seen We Came As Romans live before, but it was incredible and now I've gotten into many of the bands. Picked up a shirt while I was there! Wonderful music, phenomenal performance, and I've never seen such a friendly crowd. Venue wasn't overloaded or dirty even though there were tons of people there. Would like to see them again!

Legit
by Xninja92X on 2/12/11Pops - SaugetRating: 5 out of 5Overall great show. For Today killed it and the other band were good too. Only problem was there was push moshing, which is the dumbest thing to do at a show.

Craziness
by Bill27 on 2/7/11Crocodile Rock - AllentownRating: 5 out of 5This was the craziest show i have been too. All the bands put on a good show but for today and wcar just blew it away. I was in the pit the whole time, and there was so much energy it was so much fun. Great show
Pretty Good Show
by Joelnumba1 on 2/2/11State Theatre - St PetersburgRating: 4 out of 5Missed the opening act because parking sucks in St. Pete, all street parking is only 2 hours and shows are longer than that. Texas In July opened. They were freakin br00tal. Woe, Is me was next and were really good, but had a lot of technical difficulties. The Word Alive played even with Telle being sick. Zack did screams so it just wasn't the same. For Today was amazing, my friend broke his nose during Devastator. I had mixed feelings about We Came As Romans. Played a great set and have good stage prescience. But the strobes lights wouldnt shut off and bugged the crap out of me. And their clean vocalist is TERRIBLE live. They downed tuned the guitars so the notes he had to hit wouldnt be too high. He crack on their cover of "my love" and he sang falsetto most of the time.
We Came As Romans
by fanofjhdavis on 1/10/11Station 4 - Saint PaulRating: 5 out of 5This is the third time I've seen We Came As Romans in concert and I am still impressed. I was right up front for the whole show and I got to shake Kyle's and David's hand which I thought was pretty cool. They were a little late probably because of weather but their show was still great. I'm going to see them again in March when they play with A Day To Remember and I can't wait. Tickets for that show will be on ticketfly.
