We Came As Romans release first new music in three years, BAD LUCK

We Came As Romans are back with brand-new music.

The band have followed up 2022 album Darkbloom with new single BAD LUCK, which vocalist Dave Stephens says is “so important to each of us”. The frontman explains that, “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.”

In Kerrang!’s 4/5 review of Darkbloom – which was WCAR’s first album since the tragic passing of Kyle Pavone in 2018 – we wrote that, “It’s not an easy listen. But then, the context in which it was made meant it never could be. But in the spirit of the band continuing, it’s also worth remembering amongst the dark moments how much life and vitality there is in the delivery here. Like William Faulkner, given a choice between grief and nothing, we would choose grief.

“Here, We Came As Romans have bravely plunged their hands into what that means, and created something that acts as both a carrier for a knot of emotion, and a tribute to their friend.”
