Formation, signing and early recordings (2012–15)
Roam formed in September 2012 in Eastbourne, England. The group began performing in November 2012. The band began producing original music in early 2012, and independently released two EPs, No Common Ground, which was released in 2012, and Head Down, which was released in 2013. The group was signed to Hopeless Records in 2014 and soon afterwards released the Viewpoint EP in 2015.
Backbone and line-up changes (2016–present)
The band released its debut album, Backbone, on 22 January 2016, through Hopeless. 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." The band also stated that in shows following Pearson's departure, drummer Miles Gill would serve as touring drummer at the band's performances. The band performed on every date of the 2016 Warped Tour. In August 2016, the group announced that Miles Gill would join the band full-time.
Musical style
Roam has been described as pop punk. AllMusic biographer Neil Yeung noted that the band took "cues from New Found Glory, blink-182, Sum 41, and Simple Plan".
