BAD MAN expresses our shared frustration and anger at the pain and injustice faced by families and communities torn apart by our country’s cruel and inhumane immigration policies. Now more than ever, we must stand together to protect those most vulnerable to the violence being inflicted upon them. Through this song, I hope to add my voice to the many others who are outraged and willing to speak up and stand up for those being forcibly separated, detained and deported.

All profits from this single through Bandcamp will be donated to the Immigrant Defense Project.

AROE began coalescing in December 2024, sparked by Alessandra's desire to reclaim a space for creativity.

With songs already written but not yet fully realized, she connected with Paul Berryman and Johnny Nails to help refine her vision and bring the music to life in the studio. As the tracks evolved, so did the collaboration. AROE was no longer just an idea, but something fully formed.

Rooted in lyricism, the music weaves melodic vocals through songs that reflect on what gives life meaning and why we stay close to it. Whether for love, friendship, purpose, or protest, AROE explores the reasons we choose to stay.
