Romance: Seven Inches Of... 7"

New York has always had a talent for making ugly music feel urgent, and Romance are keeping that tradition alive with their boots on the throat of it.

Seven Inches Of. is a 7" EP from this New York post-punk and noise rock outfit, the kind of record that sounds like it was recorded in a building that's deciding whether to collapse. Fans of early Sonic Youth, Protomartyr, and the nastier end of the No Wave lineage will find something to love here. It's the sort of release that feels at home in the ALT CVLT bins alongside the records that always get pulled out first. Raw, confrontational, and completely uninterested in your approval, which is exactly what good alternative music should be.

Format: 7" vinyl EP (45 RPM). Origin: New York, NY, United States.

Fans of: Sonic Youth, Protomartyr, Laughing Hyenas.
