#### Romes

Siblings Jacob (lead vocals, bass, synths) and Nicolas (drums) have spent years honing their chops and take full artistic control over everything they do, from their music production, mixing, mastering, and artwork, to merch design and video direction. This independence allows the duo to remain sharply focused on their vision – a project that pushes boundaries until something new breaks through the noise. It’s resulted in the pair earning multiple editorial playlist cover spots on Spotify, with tens of millions of streams as an independent band. The brothers recently sold out dates across Europe on their first headline tour and are set to return February-March 2027 with an all new live show and their sophomore album planned for Summer 2027. Romes’ live show weaves between the duo’s original music and mash-ups and remixes including SebastiAn, Daft Punk, Chemical Brothers, Faithless, and more – all performed with live instrumentation.

Before they were out of elementary school, the two brothers were recording demos on an 8-track mixer in their parents’ basement, experimenting with different production techniques using the limited technology available to them. Now, Romes bridge glitched-out analog sounds with blistering modern production and the brothers’ love for gear and experimentation is showcased on their social media channels where they constantly innovate with out-of-the-box production techniques. This hybrid approach where synths and traditional rock instruments not only coexist, but feed off of each other, has led them to collaborate with and work on projects for Call of Duty and Moog. As NME described, “the pair helped fuck up the more polished moments of the score with snarling guitar and thundering drums” (in regards to Romes’ work on Call of Duty Black Ops 6).

In a world where the masses chase trends and waves, Romes choose to embrace distortion and grit, intentionally keeping their production rough around the edges. Wired for late nights and sweaty clubs, Romes’ sound bridges the divide between human emotion and analog imperfections where rhythmically hypnotic four-to-floor beats quickly evolve into thrashy rock grooves producing a visceral show suited to both dance floors and mosh pits alike.
