History


Evans was previously a member of the band Asleep in the Sea alongside Tom Filardo and Eli Kuner. The band debuted in 2004 and opened for The Spinto Band in 2005, but disbanded three years later in 2007. Evans returned to the music scene in 2010, creating Roar and releasing the project's debut extended play, I Can't Handle Change. The EP was a response to Asleep in the Sea's disbandment. Roar's second extended play, Daytrotter Session, was released on February 26, 2011.
Roar's third extended play, I'm Not Here to Make Friends, was released on February 28, 2012, and was the project's only release under Really Records.
Roar's debut studio album, Impossible Animals, was released independently on March 27, 2016. During 2016, Evans joined band Andrew Jackson Jihad, which later rebranded to AJJ, as their drummer. Roar's second studio album, Pathétique Aesthétique, was released on July 5, 2018.
In 2019 and 2024, the titular song from I Can't Handle Change gained popularity on the internet, especially media-sharing app TikTok. On March 30, 2021, Roar's third studio album, Diamond Destroyer of Death, was released. Evans left AJJ during 2021.
In 2023, "Christmas Kids," a song from I Can't Handle Change, went viral on TikTok. The song's popularity led it to chart on the Irish Singles Chart and UK Singles Chart at 45 and 58, respectively; the entries marked Roar's first appearance on any international music charts. The song describes the abusive relationship between Phil Spector and his wife Ronnie.
