The Romantics

The Romantics

High-octane power pop that bridges Detroit garage rock and British Invasion melody. Punchy harmonica, shimmering guitars, and relentless energy.

Find on Amazon

The ultimate 1980s party starter that sounds like the 60s on high-speed dub.

Relentlessly upbeat and infectious with a touch of working-class Detroit toughness.

Moments Worth Waiting For
The explosive drum fill and immediate guitar jangle that kicks off the album's most famous anthem.
The sharp, rhythmic harmonica solo that slices through the power chords on track 10.
The tight, three-part vocal harmonies that elevate the chorus of 'Keep in Touch' into a pure pop moment.
