"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."

The band has just released the third in a series four ep's, (released April 15). You can download or stream them HERE. You can also check out the new single "EARLY AUBADE" available for purchase on iTunes HERE.
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....
Had a blast last night in Columbus! Best show I've seen in that city hands down. I hope it won't be too long before I have the chance to catch you guys again. Thanks for everything!
The new EP is just as awsome as the last two!!! I am so ready for the new album but dissapointed no Wilmington show! No love for the beach guys? I mean I hate it here two but come on, some love down this way. It's just a hop skip and a beer from Cat's Cradle.
ahh ur killin me! lol put "Another Summer" back up! not the live one but the real one. I love that song, I need it! Its so hard to find specially on myspace :/
