FOUR STAR TRACK REVIEW BY PITCHFORK




"Like Summerteeth-era Wilco, RC's arresting debut is a smart-bomb stunner whose material moves with cool ease and crisp authority amid multi layered hooks and moods." -Jonathan Perry



“Sookie” could be confused for a Twilight Singers cast-off single, but that’s fine; it still paints one of the most perfect pictures of bittersweet I have ever heard. I’m almost convinced they wrote it for me personally. Wee Hours is a complete album laden with genuine lyrics, smart harmonies, and heartbroken pangs in the fade. Don’t believe me? Find an autumn roof and bring a sixer of your favorite beer and this album. You’ll thank me (and Roman Candle).
Scott Darnell


Grayson Currin says:



"Roman Candle is one of the best, most complete American rock bands to surface in a decade ... After all, (they are) better at what they do--writing imaginative pop songs and building them into captivating four-minute Southern-air epics with the unleashed spirit of The Replacements and unorthodox intuition of Wilco--than any other "band on the verge" in memory."

Hey Skip and Logan and the rest of you guys, it has been a while! You guys have been a huge
influence for me and my music and it would be awesome if you listened
to some of my stuff. Will you guys be around Wilkes any time?.

I know you just put out a new album (which is everything I wanted out of your new album and if anyone reading this doesn't have it you just might be a facist) but I was having a Sticky Fingers listen last night and you all would kill a cover of Moonlight Mile.  Just a thought....
