The Phoenix-based musician Owen Evans began Roar, and, according to Really Records, the project's first record, I Can't Handle Change, followed the untimely end of his earlier band, Asleep in the Sea. The project was called Roar because it was going to be mostly quiet lo-fi junk, which seemed funny at the time, according to a Medium post about the project. Releasing Roar's first record after the end of a band, and now writing, arranging and producing Roar alone, may suggest a move from group work toward sole authorship. Christmas Kids is a track from Roar's 2010 debut EP, I Can't Handle Change. Roar's songs are inspired by 1960s girl groups and early applications of the synthesizer, according to Crescent Phoenix, which pictures a crowd of old Hollywood celebrities, grief-stricken robots and the odd cheerful elf trading tales of love, pain and hope. Influences from 1960s girl groups and early applications of the synthesizer, together with Evans writing, arranging and producing alone, may hint that one person's work sits behind a sound with named influences. Evans now writes, arranges and produces Roar alone, Really Records says, though it adds that this "doesn't necessarily make it less volatile." Really Records names relationship inadequacy, alcoholism and frustration at not being able to come to terms with loss as the issues tackled. In the Medium post about Roar, a good melody and chord progression will make almost any arrangement, production or recording setup sound good, but not the other way round. Really Records naming loss and alcoholism among the issues tackled, and Crescent Phoenix picturing grief-stricken robots and cheerful elves, may suggest serious subjects set beside playful imagery. Roar's debut studio album, Impossible Animals, came out independently on March 27, 2016. During 2016 Evans joined Andrew Jackson Jihad, later renamed AJJ, as drummer, and he kept releasing records as Roar while touring with them. The third studio album, Diamond Destroyer of Death, followed on March 30, 2021, and Evans left AJJ in 2021. The name Roar being tied to mostly quiet lo-fi songs, and Impossible Animals being released independently in 2016, may suggest a small-scale, self-released character for the project.
