Zoe Roarz’s “Slam Dance Romance” Is the Punk Rock Valentine’s Anthem We Needed Though Zoe Roarz packed up and moved from KC to LA in 2022, we still keep tabs on her, because you can leave the Midwest, but the Midwest never really leaves you. Known for her gothic glam and punk rockette aesthetic: fishnets, denim jackets, and a signature two-toned mane…Zoe has a way of making every track feel like a rebellious love letter. Her music is a mix of high-energy, danceable pop punk, bursting with power chords and carried by a voice that can only be described as fiery velvet. So when I saw she dropped a Valentine’s Day jam, I said, “Inject it in my veins, now!” ‘Slam Dance Romance’ opens with the ambient chatter of a crowd waiting for a show to start, before a distorted bass line slices through the noise. Zoe delivers her lyrics like a handwritten confession, painting a picture of romance in the mosh pit. But here’s the twist: there are no drums, no guitars, just raw, stripped-down passion. It’s bold, it’s unexpected, and it proves that the best artists don’t need a full canvas to create a masterpiece. Have a punk rock Valentine’s Day, from I-70 Radio, and someone please demand that Zoe Roarz pays us a visit soon!
