Rock Classics #65 - The Romantics from Detroit

Kennt wahrscheinlich kein Mensch auf der Plattform - vielleicht maximal @steevc - die Romantics hatten diesen einen Song - hab mir die Platte damals gekauft - was sagt Ihr dazu?

The Romantics - hope someone knows them at all

I heard their song on the radio in the 1980ies and loved it - bought the vinyl straight aways - they been not totally famous but like their sound.

Another known one here;

The Romantics are an American rock band formed in 1977 in Detroit, Michigan. The band's music is often categorized as power pop and new wave. They were influenced by 1950s American rock and roll, Detroit's MC5, the Stooges, early Bob Seger, Motown R&B, 1960s North American garage rock as well as the British Invasion rockers. The Romantics achieved substantial popularity in the United States, Belgium, the Netherlands, Germany, Canada, and Australia, with their two best-charting songs "What I Like About You", peaking at #49 in the US and #2 in Australia, and "Talking in Your Sleep", reaching #3 in the US, #1 in Canada, and #14 in Australia.

And they still play

That surprised me - they still are active and playing - great to see that in 2004, their album 61/49 was named most Outstanding National Small/Independent Label Album at the Detroit Music Awards and as result the Romantics were voted into the Michigan Rock and Roll Legends Hall of Fame.

Some curerent live performances in the following (no - promised too much, the most recent one is from 5/6 years ago it seems playing in Canada -but love the announcement of the moderator "best school time band ever!"

Any other old fart out there knowing them? Or some folks from Detroit?
