Trudy and the Romance Share Final Single

Leave a comment

I fee like it’s been a long time coming for the debut from Trudy and the Romance, the UK outfit turning crooning lounge songs into broad-sweeping pop numbers for mass consumption. I love how this track builds and builds, really not even taking off until it hits the 1.5 minute mark. The doo-wop vocal arrangements really add a layer of style and class that seems long-forgotten, but I’m still likely to swoon over it…as you should be. Sandman will be dropping on May 24th via B3SCI Records, finally giving Trudy fans what we’ve all been waiting for…hope it’s as good as we dreamed it up to be.

New Tune from Trudy and the Romance

Leave a comment

Having followed Trudy and the Romance for some time, I’m rather impressed with the sounds coming out from their forthcoming LP, Sandman. It’s weird, as weird little jazzy inflections lurk in murky background, from tinkering keys to horn blasts; I think this is where the doo-wop vibe comes in for the song title. Otherwise, this is a swelling blast of beautiful orchestral pop; it almost feels like this is what the National or the Walkmen would sound like if they were a wee bit younger. I don’t care what kind of pop fan you are, you’re really going to want to spin this before the band blows up. Sandman drops on May 24th.

One Last Trudy and the Romance Tune

Leave a comment

To celebrate the release of their Junkyard Jazz EP, Trudy and the Romance dropped one last tune for you to enjoy. For some reason the first thirty or so seconds give me a feeling like listening to Libertines, then they spin the track into a soaring vocal, only to pull back where the hook is and prolong the gratification for listeners; it’s an emotional tease that will eventually lead to your satisfaction. It’s an interesting listen, with tons of little movements within the confines of one track, perhaps fitting that it also could be described as “junkyard jazz,” though with an indie pop twist. Go ahead, jam this tune.

Have Fun with Trudy and the Romance

Remember when you could have fun listening to your rock n’ roll? Well, Trudy and the Romance have dropped a new single for just that. A little barbershop quartet opens the song, before they jitterbug their way into your eardrums, shuffling with catchy percussion and a vocal hook that uses a guttural growl to make sure to keep things cool. This UK trio always makes me get out of my seat and rush to turn the speakers up louder; it’s pure fun, and that’s okay. The group are set to release their Junkyard Jazz EP on November 17th via B3SCI.

Did You Hear the New Trudy and the Romance Tune

Leave a comment

This track came my way last week, and it seems to have blown up since that point. Having written about Trudy and the Romance before, it seems fitting I should continue my infatuation with the group. Here we have the more of a crooner’s masterpiece, filled with string arrangements, delicate piano notes and a unique little warble in the vocals that draws your ears into the track. It’s great to see pop bands taking such huge leaps with their music, and the whole production here indicates the group means business. Look for their Junkyard Jazz EP to drop this November.

New Music from Trudy and the Romance

Leave a comment

trudyThis new track from Trudy and the Romance just popped up, so I reckoned you could give it a listen if you can crawl out of bed and spin some music today. The band have proclaimed their style as “50s mutant pop,” but it definitely has a modern swagger to it, which should help keep it on your radar. Honestly, it sounds like an angrier King Krule kicking out a rocker to get the party started, with a throatier growl to it. I’m continually impressed by the work these lads are doing; they’ll also be making their was to the US for some SXSW fun, so here’s to that!

Extravagant Pop from Trudy and the Romance

Leave a comment

trudyThere’s something about band’s just doing their own thing that’s really appealing, which is how I’ve felt since I first caught wind of Trudy and the Romance. They’ve definitely got some obvious marks to the current musical climate, but they tend to ignore those indicators quite often, making them all the more captivating. For instance, the vocals here offer a main croon, but an emphatic teen gang vocal serving as its counterpart. Musically, the guitars encircle the vocal performance, which sits in the front of the mix here. Looking for something more than your average fare? These guys just keep banging out hits, and they’ll be back for SXSW!

Trudy and the Romance Get “Wild”

Leave a comment

trudyandtheromanceA few months ago, I discovered the goodness that is the 50s nost-pop that is Trudy and the Romance. Hailing from Liverpool, this group of gentlemen make a certain type of pop that seems destined for summer time listening. They’ve got a new single called “Wild,” which is below, and it’s got an infectious choral hook that you’ll be singing along to in no time. The vocals are raw and of the gang variety, while the guitar parts are loose and go where the song takes them, meanwhile the bass line is positively groovy, making you start the track from the start not long after it’s over.

Weirdo Nost-Pop From Trudy and the Romance

Leave a comment

trudyWhen the genre tag on the track you’ve just clicked on is “mutant 50s Pop,” you know that you’re in for a treat, and even though this track may be a few days old, it’s worth your time. Oddly enough, this tag really fits this track from Liverpool’s Trudy and the Romance. “He Sings,” takes the old school attributes and really exaggerates them– the vibrato on the vocals is exceptionally audible, and these vocals are also distorted and fuzzy. The drums are a little jazzy, and the guitars build the song to its creepy and wild climax. Make sure you take a listen to this track and get with these lads from Liverpool.
