We Came as Romans
We Came as Romans is a heavy metal/punk band trying to spread a positive message about love and life through music. Life is hard; it’s a struggle, and as we grow we experience many events that can lead us down the wrong path. The meaning behind this band is to love and love one another, don’t let life keep you down, and to move on, growing from our experiences. Their original members are from Troy, Michigan, and were part of a previous band, created before We Came as Romans. Most heavy bands are about the music, crazy guitar and drum solos and lots of screaming about lyrics that don’t mean anything. We Came as Romans is all about the lyrics and the spreading of a positive message, music comes second: this is one thing I really love about this band. This past year of my life has been really hard for me and when I started listening to We Came as Romans I was experiencing an extreme low. Friends helped me get through the hard times, but when they left for college and the military I was by myself and all I had was music. We Came as Romans helped me with their loving lyrics and got me where I am today. Before We Came as Romans, Sean N. Zelda, David Stephens, Jonny Nabors, Mark Myatt, and Joshua Moore created a band called “This Emergency” in August 2005. Only having a couple of shows in the Detroit area the band parted ways in November of the same year. Zelda left for the University of Michigan and Nabors left the band for his own reasons. Later in 2006 their close friend joined the band as a vocalist and teamed up with Myatt, changing the band’s name to “We Came as Romans.” The new members who joined the band are Eric Choi on drums, Lou Cotton on rhythm guitar, Andrew Glass on bass guitar, Kyle Pavon on clean vocals and key board, on the lead guitar Joshua Moor, of course, and following with David Stephens on unclean vocals. After getting the rest of the band members up to par, the “Demonstrations” EP (extended play) came out. WCAR had one tour and
