The Story

Formed1977OriginUnited StatesGenrenew waveLabelNemperor Records

Picture yourself cruising down a sun-soaked street, the top down, "What I Like About You" blasting from the speakers. The Romantics, hailing from the vibrant music scene of Detroit, embody the energetic spirit of new wave with a nod to the infectious hooks of power pop. Their sound is a delightful blend that draws from the golden age of 1950s rock and roll, the gritty edge of Detroit legends like MC5 and The Stooges, and the catchy charm of Motown's R&B. With hits like "Talking In Your Sleep," this band invites listeners to revel in the nostalgia of youthful romance and carefree nights. So, roll down those windows and let The Romantics remind you of the joy that comes with a catchy tune and a carefree heart.
