Search - Dark Romantics :: Some Midnight Kissin

"Like a mysterious temptress who savors the flickering half light of an underground club, Lakeland's Dark Romantics revel in sexy rock and roll noir. The group's producer, Jason Martin of the band Starflyer 59 ... calls its sound `haunted house' music, but that might suggest there isn't anything there to bob your head to. In fact, the DR's songs have plenty of simmering energy." - THE LEDGER "The Dark Romantics combine their previous bands' sounds-the Christian pop acts of Denison Marrs and the John Ralston Band-with the tastiness of ABBA, electronic influences from Jason Martin's Starflyer 59, and even some melodic New Pornographers thrown in as well. The result is a darkly delicious indie sound with a dance backbone." - RACKETSCAN The voice and brains behind the bands Denison Marrs and The Party People, Eric Collins has combined what he learned from both projects with some of his favorite music to create The Dark Romantics, a darker, sexier, groovier sound with enough blues and twang mixed in that you can't help but get down. With brother-in-law Dean Lorenz, who also did time as Denison Marrs' drummer and lead guitar god of The Party People, The Dark Romantics recorded their debut out west with Jason Martin of Starflyer 59 behind the wheel.
