Description

Squid Squad had disbanded as ofSplatoon 2,[3] withQuinn joiningDiss-Pair. Front Roe consists of the remaining Squid Squad members (Ichiya,Nami, andMurasaki), as well as the new member 004Clam, who is Quinn's replacement. When asked about the possibility of a reunion with Squid Squad by a TV interviewer, Quinn said "that's a good question," then left the room, never to return.[2]

Although Front Roe being Squid Squad's successor is an open secret, Front Roe have distanced themselves from their work as Squid Squad and never promote or perform their music inSplatsville despite being based inthe Splatlands.[2] They hide their faces in an effort to give themselves a fresh start.[4]

In-universe, Front Roe debuted in the spring before the release ofSplatune 3, working with the independent label AGARI.[2]

Members

Ichiya (001Nite)

Main article:Ichiya

Ichiya, also known as001Nite, is the former lead vocalist and guitarist for Squid Squad. SinceSquid Squad disbanded, he has been worshipped and his follower count has been on the rise. He doesn't have a cell phone and even his bandmates have a hard time contacting him.[5]

Nami (002Wsbi)

Main article:Nami

Nami, also known as002Wsbi, is the former synth player for Squid Squad. She is the mastermind behind the disguised album art. Her latest hobby is collecting tea utensils. She's running a channel on a video site that teaches loosely but maniacally about jazz theory and synth music creation. Said channel is "surprisingly gentle, cute, and easy to understand" and is rapidly gaining subscribers.[5]

Murasaki (003Soss)

Main article:Murasaki

Murasaki, also known as003Soss, is the former drummer for Squid Squad. Unlike his bandmates who are obscured, he has an open personality and makes frequent media appearances. He's currently active as a session musician and music producer. His drum beats and fills have been increased since his "Squid Squad" days.[5]

004Clam

004Clam is Quinn's replacement as the bass player in Front Roe, and is only ever credited under that name. He was invited by003Soss. He's speculated to be the session musician known as "GETTA-GUY"[2] and has previously worked as a bass player for "CHOPSUEY" and "XOSauce."[5]

004Clam'ssignature resembles the digits "004." The overall trapezoid shape of the digits somewhat resembles shells.

Quotes

“Squid Research Lab here! We should probably log out of our "professional" account for this news, but YOLO! Ahem. New band alert!

Calling themselvesFront Roe, this melodic pop-punk group has kids and squids (andOctolings) everywhere waving their tentacles along to the rhythm.

”
— @SplatoonNA on Twitter[6]
“The melodious, punkish sound of rock outfitFront Roe has been swimming up the charts inSplatsville lately. Here's a sneak peek at one of their songs "Sea Me Now" that'll appear in#Splatoon3! 🔊 🎶”
— @NintendoEurope on Twitter[7]
“Despite turning down most media appearances and hiding their faces on jacket art, this band has managed to storm the charts based on their live-performance cred alone. The punk-tinged earworms they pump out have got all the kids hooked.”
—Splatoon Base[8]
“After bassist Quinn left and Squid Squad went on hiatus, the remaining members formed a new act with another bassist taking his place. The reason they started over as a masked band might be because they want audiences to look past their popularity and judge them for what they're capable of now.”
—Splatoon Base

Trivia

Etymology

For the other band members' etymologies, seeIchiya#Etymology,Nami#Etymology, andMurasaki#Etymology.

The band's name is a play on "front-row" (the closest row of seats to the stage of a theater or auditorium) and "roe", a group of fish eggs.

Additionally, the aliases of the formerSquid Squad members are further nods to the sushi-based inspirations behind their real names:

  • Ichiya's alias,001Nite is derived from the same phrase as his name: "ichiya zushi" (一夜鮨, lit. "one-night sushi").
  • Nami's alias,002Wsbi, is derived from "wasabi."
  • Murasaki's alias,003Soss, is a play on "sauce," likely fromsoy sauce, given the Japanese name of his alias, 003Soy.

004Clam's alias continues the numbering scheme from the other band members.
