We Came As Romans biography

We Came As Romans formed in July 2005 and are an American melodic metalcore band hailing from Michigan, U.S., currently signed to Equal Vision Record

Originally named The Emergency, We Came As Romans formed of high school seniors Sean N. Zelda, Dave Stephens, Jonny Nabors, Mark Myatt and Joshua Moore and played a number of shows in the Detroit, Michigan, U.S. area. Soon after Jonny Nabors and Sean Zelda were replaced by Sean Daley and Larry Clark and the name changed to We Came As Romans.

The band’s first full length album “To Plant A Seed” was released in November 2009 produced alongside Joey Sturgis, the album made a big debut on the Billboard charts reaching No.6 on the Top Heatseekers chart and No. 25 on Top Independent chart. After the release of the album the band left on the ‘Leave It to the Suits’ tour with Of Mice & Men and Broadway, and featured on the ‘Punk Goes Pop Volume Three’ where they covered Justin Timberlake’s “My Love” and placed We Came As Romans on the national tour circuit.

We Came As Roman’s tour scheduling is a thing to behold and the majority of 2010 and 2011 was spent touring around the majority of the U.S. and Canada as well as a couple months in New Zealand and Australia. The band has a proclivity for elaborately titled tour names including: ‘Scream It Like You Mean It Tour’ and ‘We Are Not Meaningless Tour.’

Released in September 2011 We Came As Romans’ third studio album “Understanding What We've Grown to Be” took a darker turn for the band whilst maintaining the bands overall positivity and brotherhood. The album was greeted with excellent reviews and commercially performed better than its predecessor, reaching No. 20 on the Billboard Top 200. Following the release, the band continued their pattern of relentless tour scheduling travelling to UK/Europe, Australia, the Philippines, Japan, Russia, as well as North and South America, alongside the likes of The Used, Megadeth, NOFX, Suicide Silence and The Devil Wears Prada.

The band’s most recent and most popular album “Tracing Back Roots” has solidified the band's position in the pop/punk genre and has seen lead singer Dave Stephens leave the screaming voice behind entering a new era of wider accessibility to their music.

Live reviews

‘Awesome, you’re all awesome’ was the phrase that Jason Cameron opened with before jumping straight into the hit song Lionheart. The melodic metalcore band jumped straight into their heavy vocal style, and shouted to us in the audience ‘if you know if, let us hear it’, so everyone was singing along to the great track. They were all about getting the audience involved in the show, and kept shouting out for everyone to move to different areas of the venue, then run back to where the started. It was a lot of fun whilst singing like crazy to the music.
Dani Wonter-Bates, the lead singer was constantly improvising and adding exciting new elements to the familiar tracks. Hearing their new album, Runes, performed live was incredible. I’ve listened to it time and time again since it’s release, yet it still seemed new to hear it performed live. Each band member performed an epic and intense instrumental solo, whilst the other band members hyped up the audience, and danced around themselves on the stage. The great thing about seeing metal bands live, especially Bury Tomorrow, is that you know you’re going to get a fantastic performance, as well as great music from talented artists, and that’s definitely what this show was all about.

We Came As Romans always puts on a great show. If you're looking for a feel good, upbeat concert WCAR is definitely a show to see.

They sound great live and always engage the audience to make you have a great time. They have been on a few Warped tours in the past, but I suggest seeing a show that they are headlining so you can focus all your attention towards them.

From the beginning to now, even after many band member changes and changing their sound, they have always been a great band.

Go rock out to one of their shows! You won't regret it.
