Main article: Backbone (Roam album)

The band released its debut album, Backbone, on 22 January 2016, through Hopeless.[8][9] Following the release of the band's debut album Backbone, the band supported Sum 41 during Kerrang! Tour 2016.

On 29 February, Roam announced that the band had parted with its drummer Charlie Pearson, stating that "We are extremely thankful for all his work and commitment to us over the past three years, and wish him the very best in the future."[10] The band also stated that in shows following Pearson's departure, drummer Miles Gill will serve as temporary drummer at the band's performances.[11][12]

The band is set to perform on every date of the 2016 Warped Tour.[13][14]

Musical style

Roam has been described as pop punk.[15] AllMusic biographer Neil Yeung noted that the band took "cues from New Found Glory, blink-182, Sum 41, and Simple Plan".[5]
