The Crocodile

Roman Holiday is an Alternative/Pop/Rock band from the Seattle area. They blend driving rock music, captivating melodies and emotion-driven vocals to create a powerful, unique sound; A sound that will move you, and leave you humming the tunes as though you've heard them before.

The band formed in September 2008 with the input and involvement of Producer Mark Simmons, owner of Pacific Studios. Since then Roman Holiday has, in a very short time, taken some surprisingly large strides, placing themselves directly into the center of the music world. They spent the first few months after their conception, focusing on writing. The decision was made to hold off on booking shows, and with a clear schedule and a state-of-the-art studio at their fingertips, Roman Holiday began to record. By 2009 the band had hit the stage. They began to captivate audiences at clubs and theaters all over the northwest with their refined but yet natural live rock show. The band quickly became known for their timeless, "next big band" sound. By May 2009, phase one of the recording process had come to a close and Roman Holiday released their first self-titled E.P.

Now, after playing countless live shows, a couple west coast tours, and many months of writing and recording new material, Roman Holiday are releasing their highly anticipated debut full length album "Paint This Town". The album is raw and honest, yet full of polished pop/rock anthems. As Adam McKinney of Weekly Volcano puts it, "Every build-up is tight and suspenseful, every chorus explodes, and every hook is more gigantic than the last."

Be on the lookout for more great things from this promising band.
