Roman Candle is a rock band that's local to Chapel Hill, NC. They're thought of as one of the best rock bands of this time. Four guys and a girl, the lead singer a red-headed guy, you can see Roman Candle performing around the triangle if you know where to look. Their songs are clear and realisticly paint pictures of moments and feelings. The steady beats of their songs make them flow well and easy to listen to. "Roman Candle is one of the best, most complete American rock bands to surface in a decade." -The Independent (6-21-06). Whenever I see them they seem nicely familiar. Once, after seeing them play on the green at Southern Village, some friends and I went "backstage" (to the parking lot) to talk to them. (And they gave us pizza!) Pretty much they're very nice and open to talking to fans. As a band they work together nicely and are always taken away by their own music, which is nice for the audience.
Sometimes they play gigs with another local band "Old Ceremony," and members of one band might go on stage to play a song or two with the other band. Roman Candle creates a very laid back, relaxed, comfortable environment filled with their wonderful music... I, as a fan, get taken away every time. The beat gets into my body and I really enjoy myself.
