National Breakout

The Romantics

High-velocity power pop fueled by Detroit garage rock grit. Shimmering guitars and punchy harmonica tracks that sound like a 1960s house party in 1980.

It's like the Beatles grew up in a Detroit garage and discovered red leather and harmonica.

A high-energy burst of optimism and grit that feels like a permanent Friday night.

Moments Worth Waiting For
The piercing harmonica solo on Friday at the Hideout that cuts through the guitar jangle.
The tight, three-part vocal harmonies that elevate the chorus of Forever Yours.
The relentless, driving snare hits that propel Stone Pony from the first second.
