One listens to music for the taste and quality but there is always more depth if it is attainable. Roar does exactly that and frankly, Roar does not disappoint either. From the beautiful melodies and instrumentation that seem to keep us bopping and enthralled there are these moments where Roarโ€™s lyrics take us to a personal place. With songs like I Canโ€™t Handle Change, Christmas Kids, Hope, Heart for Brains, and Demon Ghost Cave the instrumentation glides one through with a constant rising arch. It makes a person not only fall in love with the songs but appreciate the music in them too. From unexpected moments of the waltz to the freshness that each part of the song brings, the attention to details is apparent. Not to mention that Owenโ€™s voice with the high octaves that they hit brings so much power and life to each song Roar creates. One thing is absolutely undeniable to us. The music Roar is creating is working tremendously for them. Even looking beyond the music, the production on each song is clean and youthful, it keeps the listener engaged from side A to the end of side B. Every instrument is heard, every moment is seemingly captured.

Recently this year Roar put out an album called Diamond Destroyer of Death. Like all of Roarโ€™s other releases, this record is ambitious, creative, and thoughtful. It keeps showing that continuing in the present year Roar is still out there bending the sounds and ideas of music. Roar is a band one seemingly cannot forget after they listen to them. They will also be touring in the (hopefully soon) future, go out, and catch their set in a town near you.

Look out for Roar with new music, shows, and check out their current selection. It is an absolute treat that we have a band like this. The hits just keep coming from Roar and wonโ€™t stop anytime soon. They decided to use a different approach to answering the questions, I think we can make out the answers. Well, at least most of them. Read more below to find some answers.
