Her unforgettable pipes are chock full of emotion and are soulfully spread across a backdrop of broody pop tones; a sound that instantly (and not surprisingly) snagged the attention of world-renowned pop stars like Troye Sivan and Vance Joy.

Her debut EP School Night comes out on September 15, and if her first single “Good Hurt” is any indication, Roan is bound of blow up the pop scene very soon.

POSTCARDS

The Denver-based quintet has chiseled their own take on the genre, melding elements of hard-rock, pop-punk and indie-pop. Their debut EP, Close but Not Quite is guaranteed to capture the hearts of those especially fond of Balance & Composure and Brand New.
