The 12 songs on ‘Full Circle’ serve as a storytelling platform for the life challenges and successes of guitarist/vocalist Taylor Roberts over recent years. The lead track “Do This On My Own” and its artwork, inspired by a time he was lost on an island in the Bahamas, offers a personal and relatable connection to the band's music. Roberts realized that he could be in the wrong position if he didn’t have the tools to do things himself. This personal connection to the music is designed to deepen the emotional connection with the audience. While on his adventures, he snapped photos that became part of the artwork for the ‘Full Circle’ release. Roberts also enlisted the help of friends Paul McCoy of 12 Stones (on World Apart) and Jennie Nord of Rave The Reqviem (on In Silence) for guest vocals.
Taylor Roberts, also the guitarist of Taproot, formed Riding With Killers (RWK) in 2018 in the ashes of his former projects Cathercist and Wild Fire, both of which had success in the hard rock genre over the years. Roberts befriended RWK’s 1st drummer, Dave Coughlin, on tour in 2013, when Coughlin was the drummer of Taproot. The two linked up for co-writing with friends Tim Krukowski (ex-Sponge), producer Matthew LaPlant, and James Lascu (ex-Wilson). Matthew LaPlant mastered the singlet at Madtown Mix Studios, and the band is rounded out by their newest drummer, Jed Thibeault (Avalon Black, etc) and bassist Kris Kress. With their past successes and the talent of their current lineup, Riding With Killers is poised to make a significant impact in the alt/metal music scene.
