Roman Holiday is an alternative rock band from Seattle, Washington, United States.
The Tacoma, Washington newspaper, the Weekly Volcano, noted "having been birthed in a recording studio means their sound was born running, and it really shows.
"[1] In the local Seattle music scene, the band quickly became known for their groomed and "MTV-ready sound, comparable to chart-topping arena-rockers Coldplay and Kings of Leon".
After the gig, the coffee shop's manager suggested Collins as a potential lead guitar player to the band.
He and studio owner Mark Simmons and Jeff Evans began talking about creating a pop-rock project.
In January 2010, Roman Holiday locally released Paint This Town, to a sold-out theater.
[1] The day after the release show, the band departed for their second, extended American west coast tour.
