ROMES
Toronto quartet ROMES have premiered the official music video for their brand new single Tryna Be today. The video explores the contrast between real life and life you portray to others via social media. Tryna Be first appeared on the band's acclaimed debut EP, Believe, and will also be featured on ROMES' upcoming debut full-length album, out later this year. I am addicted to this song! Check out the video below!



Speaking about the video the band explains,
In today's social media obsessed world, glorifying looks and appearances, so many of us hide our true colours. We wanted to make a video that took a different spin on the song's main lyric ''who are you tryna be?'', emphasizing the current social media addiction our society has developed, and its obsession in being perceived in a certain light. The woman in the video represents how social media has, to a great extent, become a platform for people to present a curated version of themselves, hiding their quirks and the many aspects that make them a truly unique individual."

ROMES is comprised of Jacob Alexander (vocals) and Nicolas Amadeus (drums), Andrew Keyes (bass) and James Tebbitt (guitar). The childhood friends met while attending school in Ireland, connecting over their mutual passion for rock music and undeniable chemistry as musicians. Perfecting their inimitable sound since their adolescent years, ROMES effortlessly documents true emotion in their songs while accenting each member's personalities to create irresistible, eclectic music.
