Roman Candle - Can We Watch Something Happy? (EP)

Four-piece screamo band Roman Candle released an amazing EP back in 2022 and I’ve been eagerly waiting for more music. Over the years the band got bogged down in drama and Discount Fireworks (EP-2022) faded from memory. With a new bassist on board, the band ended 2025 with a tremendous 3 song EP and now they are starting 2026 with another one. Lead vocalist Piper Ferrari offers up brilliantly written songs that perfectly balance screaming and spoken word — lines that 15-year-old me scrawled across notebooks and adult me can’t stop screaming along with. Her band mates create a furiously tight, drum driven, crunchy breakdown hardcore that makes every listen a mosh pit. Hoping for a full album soon.
