Roman Candle Releases Fierce New Track ‘Bite Harder Than You Bleed’

Roman Candle has unveiled their latest track, titled ‘Bite Harder Than You Bleed’, which delves into the disillusionment that often accompanies life in the music industry. This new release serves as a poignant reflection of the complexities faced by artists when thrust into the spotlight. The song captures the band’s experience of the rapid shifts in perception and pressure that can arise when one becomes the center of attention.

Exploring Industry Disillusionment

The song showcases a dizzying blend of powerful howls and sharp riffs, striking a balance between hardcore intensity and emotional vulnerability. It articulates a caustic message about the importance of remaining true to oneself, despite external pressures to conform. In an era where the music scene can often overshadow individuality, the band emphasizes the significance of authenticity in art.

Vocalist Piper Ferrari elaborated on the inspiration behind the track, expressing a sense of jadedness with the industry. “‘Bite Harder Than You Bleed’ came from this place of being completely jaded with the music industry—the pressure to act the same, think the same, and worship the same idols,” she stated. “It’s that ‘kill your idols’ moment where you realize even the people you look up to are just as hollow, anxious, and bruised as you are.”

The lyrics encapsulate Ferrari’s feelings of disillusionment, with lines such as “falsely shallow, hollow, refusing to follow” and “your idols hate you too.” She noted that acknowledging these feelings can be both disheartening and liberating, serving as a reminder to remain resilient. “You have to bite harder than you bleed—push back, stay sharp, and refuse to let the world wear you down,” she added.

Continued Momentum in 2023

This release marks the second single from Roman Candle this year, following their previous song ‘Can We Watch Something Happy?’, which debuted in September 2023. The band’s evolving sound and introspective lyrics continue to resonate with listeners, highlighting their ability to articulate the struggles and triumphs of life in the music industry.

With ‘Bite Harder Than You Bleed’, Roman Candle not only showcases their musical prowess but also invites audiences to reflect on the realities of fame and the importance of authenticity. As they navigate the complexities of the music scene, the band remains committed to expressing their truths through their art.
