The Story
The Romantics are an American rock band from Detroit, known for their power pop and new wave sound. Active since 1977, they draw inspiration from the raw energy of 1950s rock and roll, the iconic Detroit scene that birthed MC5 and the Stooges, and the catchy hooks of Motown R&B. Their infectious tracks, like "What I Like About You" and "Talking In Your Sleep," showcase a blend of garage rock grit and melodic flair. With a style that captures both the spirit of their hometown and the pop sensibilities of their era, The Romantics invite listeners to tap into the irresistible joy of rock music’s simpler, more exuberant times.
