Frontman Dave Stephens elaborates on the significance of the new single, stating, “Bad Luck is a song that is so important to each of us. Lyrically, it’s about our journey as a band since the very beginning. We’ve faced so many setbacks and problems behind the scenes, and sometimes it feels like Bad Luck is all we have — but the way that we’ve persevered through all of them to become who we are today is the real story, not the issues along the way.”
Opening with a haunting, looped vocal sample, “Bad Luck” quickly crescendos into a powerful riff and soaring chorus. The lyrics reflect years of struggle and resilience, culminating in one of the band’s iconic, arena-ready choruses: “I spent all my life wondering why the bad luck always comes so easy… All this time, I’ve realized the worse things in life are free.” This anthem captures the grit of We Came As Romans’ journey and their unwavering determination to move forward.
The band has already lined up performances at significant US summer festivals, including Welcome To Rockville, Inkcarceration, the returning Warped Tour, Louder Than Life, and When We Were Young. With more exciting news on the horizon, 2025 is poised to be another remarkable year for We Came As Romans, a band that has remained a pivotal force in heavy music for nearly two decades.
