Troy's own invades the Hayloft Friday night.
Through a lot of touring and homegrown support, the Troy (yep, Michigan) based band We Came As Romans made quite the splash last year. The sextet’s debut album, “To Plant A Seed” debuted within the Billboard Top 200- not bad at all for a band that has been only been officially in it’s current incarnation since early 2007.
The group, lead by the vocal duo of David Stephens and Kyle Pavone, show their flare for a mixture of the rage and melody through “To Plant A Seed”. Songs like “Intentions” and “Beliefs” give the band a perfect blend of melodic based hard rock that will probably go a long way in the coming years.
Throughout the album, the band tries and portrays a very positive and upbeat message through their music. It is no surprise that people needing an outlet like this has latched onto the band- as the band’s MySpace page has had their music played nearly 5 million times, and their debut EP in 2008 was downloaded 50,000 times when it was offered free.
But paying for the album hasn’t stopped fans from relentlessly following the band: the band has been on the road since the release of “To Plant A Seed” and just recently took part in the “Scream It Like You Mean It” tour with Silverstein. Now the band is doing a headlining tour, that will take them on dates in the States that will last through the end of September before heading off the Europe. The band plays a near hometown show when they play the Hayloft in Mt. Clemens on Friday, August 27th.
This will be your chance to check out the next big band bubbling under coming out of Detroit. Catch them now before you can’t reach out and touch them anymore.
