Detroit, United States (1977 – present)
The Romantics are an American rock ‘n roll band from Detroit, Michigan. The band adopted the name “The Romantics” because it formed on Valentine’s Day, 1977. The Romantics achieved moderate popularity in the United States, Canada, and parts of Asia, Australia, Europe, and Latin America during the first half of the 1980s on the strength of the band’s catchy, energetic songs and stylish, memorable music videos. Influenced by 1960s British Invasion rock (most notably the music of The Kinks, The Who, The Beatles, The Hollies, and The Rolling Stones), 1970s Detroit garage rock and hard rock (as represented by such performers as Iggy Pop, The Stooges, the MC5, and The Rationals), and the punk rock of The Ramones, the Romantics play a more pop-oriented variation of punk rock known as power pop. The band is also commonly classified into the category of “new wave” (probably due more to the band’s image and era than the sound of its music) by pop music historians.
The Romantics’ original lineup consisted of rhythm guitarist/harmonica player/singer Wally Palmar, lead guitarist Mike Skill, bassist Rich Cole, and drummer/singer Jimmy Marinos. All four band members made songwriting contributions to the group, but Palmar and Skill were considered the band’s primary tunesmiths.
