One of my all-time favorite things to do in life is to find brand new bands to listen to that I really enjoy. The most recent of these bands has been the band, We Came as Romans. I have been hearing about these guys a lot the past couple of months, but I didn't really decide to check them out until I heard how they were going to be on the Game Changers Tour that I recently went to (I will have the review up by the end of the week if you guys want to hear about it) and to make a long story short, I have been enjoying them ever since. The song that I have choosen as my song of the week is "To Plant a Seed" purely because I haven't been able to stop listening to it (although "Broken Statues" came in a close second).
"To Plant a Seed" was one of the first We Came as Romans songs I had listened to and will definitely always remain one of my favorites. The vocal chemistry between screamer, David Stephens, and clean singer/keyboardist, Kyle Pavone, is extraordinary and surely one of my favorite vocal duos out there right now. And not only do they sound great together, but they right awesome lyrics. The lyrics in "To Plant a Seed" appear to be about their growth as a band and takes a really postive approach, as most of their songs do. Many people who don't take the time to listen to bands like this could right them off as a negative band, surely on the grounds of their screamed vocals and crunching riffs, but WCAR is an unbelievably positive band. The guitar riffs in this song rreally compliment the balance put forth by Stephens and Pavone, alternating between melodic passages and typical hardcore riffs. Drummer, Eric Choi, offers a nice rythmic background, and some solid drum work, for the band.
We Came as Romans really impressed me at the Game Changers Tour, offering much energy and stage for and presence in a support band and really got me hooked on them. Although they currently only have one LP out, I will definitely be on the lookout for their follow-up LP, which from what I hear, will be out sometime this summer. I also really hope that I can see them live again, only for a longer period of time and can't wait to catch them on the Warped Tour this year. Posted below is the music video for "To Plant a Seed," let me know what you think.
