R O M A N C E


The new wave of goth inspired bands sprouting from London's dark heart are poised to explode across the country in the coming months, R O M A N C E are in the vanguard. Echoes of Bauhaus and Keith levigne's wirey inventive guitarwork, they exude power in sharp contrast to the many pretenders content to rely on a delay pedal and deep vocal effect to produce the 'goth' vibe (WHITE LIES I AM LOOKING AT YOU). The vocals remind me of no one less than Jim Morrisson, notes are fantastically stretched and riddled with feeling. On the cover of the NME two weeks ago, catch them soon before they disapear under a mound of stick thin trenchcoat wearing suicide risks.
