We Came As Romans released a powerful new single titled “Bad Luck“ on April 17th. The track marks the band’s first release of 2025 and kicks off a bold new chapter following their critically acclaimed 2022 album Darkbloom. From the first haunting note of the song, you can feel the weight of everything the band has been through. It’s eerie, it’s emotional, and then it explodes into crushing riffs, soaring choruses, and unfiltered emotions.
Speaking on their new single, We Came As Romans frontman Dave Stephens states,
“Bad Luck is a song that is so important to each of us. Lyrically, it’s about our journey as a band since the very beginning. We’ve faced so many setbacks and problems behind the scenes, and sometimes it feels like bad luck is all we have — but the way that we’ve persevered through all of them to become who we are today is the real story, not the issues along the way.”
The band doesn’t just dip into darker waters here; they dive all the way in. This song is less about complaining and more about confronting the chaos. It’s a reflection on years of setbacks and grief, especially after the loss of their late lead singer Kyle Pavone, and the uphill battle of rebuilding a future in music. But instead of letting bad luck define them, they continue the legacy. Dave Stephens’ vocals are gritty and raw, delivering every line with the conviction and intense emotion that is guaranteed to be loved by fans around the world.
