Weekly Playlist #44: We Came As Romans’ psych-up mix
For this week’s playlist, we asked We Came As Romans which songs get them pumped to play a show. Before they take the stage on their current Tracing Back Roots headlining run, you may encounter them listening to the following.
Guitarist Joshua Moore
LINKIN PARK – “Lost In The Echo”
This song is just awesome. There is a driving force behind it that makes me stoked. It makes me want to go on stage and put 110 percent energy into what we're doing.
ANBERLIN – “Paperthin Hymn”
We recently played a festival in the Philippines with Anberlin and I had to make sure to not expose that I'm a pretty big fan. This song, as well as “Self-Starter” off their newest release, are awesome, driving rock songs to pump yourself up with.
Vocalist Dave Stephens
NORTHLANE – “The Calling” and “Masquerade”
I really liked listening to these songs on Warped Tour this year.
STRAY FROM THE PATH – Anonymous
On the headliner, I'll be listening to Stray From The Path's new record, Anonymous. I listen to these songs while I stretch out and get my blood flowing before we take the stage!
Drummer Eric Choi
BERMUDA – “In Trenches”
THIS WILL DESTROY YOU – “A Three-Legged Workhorse”
Guitarist Lou Cotton
MAJOR LAZER – “Bubble Butt”
It gets all of us twerking before the set.
A$AP ROCKY – “Wild For The Night”
A good high-energy song that gets the blood flowing!
Bassist Andy Glass
HACKTIVIST – “Wild Ones”
I listen to this song on the bus right before I hit the stage. It gets me amped every time!
WHILE SHE SLEEPS – “Dead Behind the Eyes”
This is a super-fast and thrashy song that just makes me want to destroy everything.
Vocalist Kyle Pavone
The PROTOTYPES – “Suffocate”
PENDULUM – “Crush”
Drum and bass is the best way to get hyped for the set!
