British pop punks ROAM have announced their first ever European headline tour to celebrate the release of their debut album "Backbone" out via Hopeless Records on 22nd January, 2016. For a band still yet to release their first record, they've already ventured to an incredible 22 countries across the continent, playing with All Time Low, Enter Shikari, State Champs, Man Overboard and A Loss For Words along the way. Now it's time for the band to revisit many of those countries they've enjoyed playing in so much, while pulling along fellow labels mates Trash Boat for the ride.

Currently on a co-headline tour of the USA with Handguns, Alex Costello (lead vocals) elaborated: "Mainland Europe has always been a special place for us; every time we visit the shows get better and better and the growing support across the continent has been exceptional to watch.  It's amazing to see how music doesn't really have a language barrier and that people who may not be able to speak English well still sing along and get involved. To be starting off our album release campaign in Europe is going to be a tour to remember. We will be playing several new songs... And these places deserve to hear it."

 And of said new songs, the first single to be unveiled from "Backbone" is the rabble-rousing "Deadweight" for which the band have released an epic music video. The clip chronicles the band taking action against a negative comment on one of their YouTube videos, combat style. Matt Wilson of Set Your Goals provides guest vocals for the track and also plays a cameo role in the video.
