Roe Knows Best is the brainchild of singer-songwriter, Roe O’Brien, indelibly New Jersey in sound, style, and attitude. As a child, Young Roe was a music lesson warrior spending many nights and weekends learning Suzuki piano, music theory, and singing in choirs that took her around the world. As she grew older she became obsessed with Good Charlotte’s self-titled album and Green Day's 'American Idiot'. Catapulted into effervescent pop-punk dreams, Roe took a deep interest in songwriting, teaching herself guitar at age 14. In May of 2020, Roe released the 'Muscle Memory' EP, described as “pop-punk excellence” by Mad Indie Media.

The title track of 'Northbound' gained the praise of music blog, ‘Look At My Records', also describing Roe’s overall catalog to be a collection of “truly heartfelt, catchy tunes”, all with an unmistakable New Jersey feel. In June of 2025 she released 'Weekend at Mauchie’s…Vol. 1', a collaborative EP co-written & recorded with fellow friend & Essex County, NJ native, Max Rauch (a.k.a. MAUCH), which demonstrates itself to be a genre-bending smorgasbord, coincidentally Spielberg-esque in subject matter (Ghosts, Aliens, Sharks, etc).
