A show where Petti Hendrix stopped by and Roe Kapara called in!
Following the release of powerhouse rock singles “Dumb,” “Glorious Day” and more, Roe Kapara has finally shared his sophomore EP Big Cigars and Satin Shorts via Epitaph Records. Additionally, the raw, brutally honest artist shared his new music video for “Hate Myself.” Kapara shares of the track, “‘Hate Myself’ is the feeling of anxiety that comes with tying your self-worth to others’ opinions. The song really sounds like a downer, but in reality, it’s about finding self-confidence.” Read more: Origami Angel Shares “Wretched Trajectory” Ahead Of LP Release He continues, “At its core, it’s a protest against molding yourself into… Read more »
Some people are having a Brat summer, but idobi Radio is having a Roe Kapara summer. The rising modern rock singer just dropped his raw and all-too-relatable new single “Dumb” and upcoming EP Big Cigars and Satin Shorts. Preceded by singles released “Glorious Day” and “The Dead Come Talking,” “Dumb” is also set to appear on the EP due out on August 23 via Epitaph. Kapara says, “‘Dumb’ is a tune about the inadequacies you feel around family members and loved ones that try to pigeonhole you into their way of life.” He continues, “It’s like if you were to… Read more »
Roe Kapara fits in a genre all of his own, one that is best summed up as “bleak bangers.” Using his wide platform and catchy alternative sonics, he tackles topical issues. Rightfully so, he confronts the idea of “the American dream” and its empty promises. Today, he shares one of his most scathing indictments on systemic failures with “Life In America.” If you are capitalism’s No. 1 hater, this song is a must-add to your playlist. “Come see the carnival/We’ll laugh at the poor/They all dance in desperation/Watch them crawl on the floor/You stole the fruits of my own labor/I’ve… Read more »
Roe Kapara is back to make your Friday a “Glorious Day” with his new track. This marks the first 2024 release from the Epitaph Records signee, which follows up his recent 2023 singles “Fajita!” and “The Dead Come Talking.” Featuring a wide range of indie rock sonics, Kapara begins the track with grungey guitar tones and crescendos into delightfully fuzzy vocals, and euphoria-inducing choruses. The conclusion is tender and comforting, with delicate “ahhhs” over acoustic strums. “I know that I’m not a dancer, but I’ll dance anyway/It’s a perfect disaster, what a glorious day,” Kapara brightly sings. This is certainly… Read more »
Roe Kapara recently stopped by the idobi Radio studios to perform live acoustic sessions of his songs “Everything’s Fine(Nuke Song)“, “Everyone’s Dying(Grandma’s Drunk Again)“, and a lovely cover of Cage The Elephant’s “Cigarette Daydreams.” Afterwards, he sat down with our very own, Eddie Barella to discuss his rise to success, the release of his new EP I Hope Hell Isn’t Real, and more. Kapara is meticulous and clever with the way he presents his music to people, particularly online. His TikTok and Instagram Reel content feels otherworldly, as if viewers are being invited into a unique universe that he has… Read more »
In a tasty follow-up to his sugary-sweet September release, “The Dead Come Talking,” Roe Kapara has unveiled his feel-good, dance-worthy new single, “Fajita!” Accompanied by a kitschy lyric video that features Kapara hidden beneath a brown paper bag with an exaggerated frowning face on the front, Kapara is seen dancing with abandon in a bed of tiny yellow flowers, only further enhancing the groovy new track. “Fajita!” exudes an enchanting, effervescent aura, particularly evident in the track’s chorus, where Kapara whimsically croons, “Too silly/I’m too goofy for your touch/I need it/Fills me up/$450 paid for dinner at the bar/Fajita/Burn my… Read more »
Roe Kapara has released a brand new song, “The Dead Come Talking” today along with a surreal visual. The eerie stop-motion visual is reminiscent of a Tim Burton movie mixed with Coraline. Kapara has a knack for the macabre, fully engrossing his entire creative endeavor with haunting imagery. Up until now, we have seen this through his ability to nail the Kubrick stare, somehow inviting in and warding off his audience all at the same time. However, Roe Kapara approaches “The Dead Come Talking” with a new form of creepy homage. He continues to expand the universe he has crafted,… Read more »
