About Roper

Roper from Limerick City are together since 2002 with twins Brian O'Brien on vocals/guitar & Conor O'Brien on bass along with Brian Meaney on drums. Guitarist Bryan Griffin joined the band in 2005 and lo the current line-up was complete.

The band have been very busy over the last 2 years winning the Miller Strat Band of the Year title in early 2005 in Limerick's Trinity Rooms then making the final 5 bands out of 600+ entries in the Brave New Stage competition in Dublin's Whelans. That year also saw them play a legendary gig on the main stage at Denny St. in Tralee for the final of the Live at the Rose comp.

The highlight of 2005 however was opening the first ever Irish date for US heavyweights MUDVAYNE at Dublin's Temple Bar Music Centre. 2006 saw the band play the final of the National Student Music Awards also at Dublin's TMBC.

Roper released their 'Left to Stampede' EP in 2005 and recorded their debut album 'Gallow's Hill' this year which is due for release in 2007.
