After announcing themselves with the breakout ‘Discount Fireworks’ EP, Roman Candle spent the next few years refining their sound and expanding their reach.
Their recent run of singles - ‘Fire In The Night Sky Forever’, ‘This Band Has Led Me To Places I Wouldn’t Go With A Gun’ and ‘Nothing Is Original’ - showcases the band’s sharpened emotional focus and their ability to balance chaos with clarity. In January 2026, they released ‘Can We Watch Something Happy?’, a powerful track rooted in vocalist Piper Ferrari’s personal experiences, further solidifying the band’s reputation for striking,
unfiltered storytelling.
Roman Candle sit at the intersection of modern emo, alt-rock, and raw DIY honesty. What began as a creative spark between Piper and guitarist Jonas Vece has evolved into a fully realized four-piece, blending serrated aggression with vulnerable lyricism within the current hardcore landscape. Roman Candle stand firmly at the forefront of a new generation of screamo.
For fans of Knocked Loose, Turnstile and Midwest emo.
