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.”

He continues, “At its core, it’s a protest against molding yourself into a life that makes everyone else around you happy but leaves you feeling like an actor in a shitty play. I wanted to feel like I was detaching myself from the weight of everyone else’s expectations of me.”
For the artist, this sophomore EP is both masterful and meaningful. “There’s a lot more songs that are closer to my heart on this project. I was just not playing into whatever the internet told me to make,” Kapara says.
Even with all the sensational visuals and fun music video antics, “My favorite part is always the writing,” he notes. “I love the energy of what something can be before you finish it.” Secure your EP here.
