Front Roe is a band in Splatoon 3. They are a punk and rock-inspired group and the successor to Squid Squad.
History
Squid Squad had disbanded as of Splatoon 2,[1] with Quinn joining Diss-Pair. Front Roe consists of the remaining Squid Squad members (Ichiya, Nami, and Murasaki), 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 in Splatsville despite being based in the Splatlands.[2] They hide their faces in an effort to give themselves a fresh start.[3]
In-universe, Front Roe debuted in the spring before the release of Splatune 3, working with the independent label AGARI.[2]
