Roe Knows Best is a singer-songwriter, indelibly New Jersey in sound, style, and attitude. //
As a child, Young Roe was a music lesson warrior spending many nights and weekends learning Suzuki piano, music theory, and singing in choirs that took her around the world. As she grew older she became obsessed by the Good Charlotte self-titled album and Green Day's American Idiot. Catapulted into effervescent pop-punk dreams, Roe took a deep interest in songwriting, teaching herself guitar at age 14. //
In May of 2020, Roe released the Muscle Memory EP, described by fans as “incredible, emotionally intelligent pop-punk”, as well as “pop-punk excellence” by Mad Indie Media. Her next follow-up was culminated in the Northbound EP, (July 2022), recorded and mixed by Ace Enders (The Early November, I Can Make A Mess). The title track of Northbound gained the praise of music blog, ‘Look At My Records', also describing Roe’s overall catalog to be a collection of “truly heartfelt, catchy tunes”, all with an unmistakable New Jersey feel. Her latest release, Weekend at Mauchie’s…Vol. 1, is a collaborative EP co-written & recorded with fellow friend & Essex County native, Max Rauch (a.k.a. MAUCH), which demonstrates itself to be a genre-bending smorgasbord, coincidentally Spielberg-esque in subject matter (Ghosts, Aliens, Sharks, etc). While the songs on Weekend at Mauchie’s…Vol. 1 are mostly well-executed, fun little jaunts, the conclusion of their collaborative EP ends with a heart-wrenching tearjerker, “To Be Loved”; a song that touches upon the ubiquitous epidemic of addiction and the two-sided emotional havoc that ensues not only within the individual suffering from it, but also from their loved ones around them.//
In October 2022, Roe Knows Best opened for The Early November and Vinnie Caruana (The Movielife, I Am The Avalanche) at The Stone Pony in Asbury Park, NJ in a full-band performance. //
Roe resides in Northern New Jersey and is currently cooking in the lab using songwriter-grade Chemical X, brewing new music that will surely break your heart. //
