The Mighty Roars are a female fronted post-punk-pop three-piece from the UK and Europe. They are set to release the first single “Elvis Lives (and he drinks sake)” from their second album on One Little Indian records on June 1st. David (guitar) and Lara (bass) of the band met in Berlin in the summer of 2006 where David was working as a truck driver. Returning to London they met Martin (guitar) who had recently survived a near fatal house fire.

Artrocker magazine loved their first self recorded efforts and released the song 'Daddy Oh' on their website to great acclaim. They were invited to open the Nokia Isle of Wight festival. Subsequently, Little Teddy Records of Munich released an EP on vinyl which attracted the interest of One Little Indian Records (London) who signed the band after witnessing only their second gig!

In October 2008 The Mighty Roars embarked on a spiritual quest across America and Europe writing, recording and discovering their fantastic second album: “ZIP” which will be released later this year on One Little Indian records.

The single, 'Elvis lives (and he drinks sake)' is a celebration of Japanese culture, in particular the Japanese interpretation of western pop culture and was written after the band made a short tour in Japan in 2007. Check out the fantastic and colourful animation made by vocalist/guitarist Lara Granqvist.
