Trudy and the Romance

Somewhere among the daydreamers and heartbreakers, beauty queens and jock teens, Trudy and the Romance are looking to lure you into their suitably skewed, cinematic world. Trudy and the Romance is born from Chesterfield’s Oliver Taylor; bringing us “Mutant 50’s pop” - a self-described style of 21st century Doo-Wop Rock & Roll. To call Trudy escapism would be too easy. As with any great pop music, location falls into irrelevance. Whilst most bands dream of a world they can leave behind, Trudy is the sound of a band with their eyes-wide and keeping every option open. Signing with B3SCI led to the release of the EP Junkyard Jazz, featuring the popular ballad ‘Is There a Place I Can Go’. Debut album Sandman brought listeners into the world of Little Johnny, with a coming-of-age concept of first and lost love; a myriad of instrumental sounds and harmonies, influenced by The Beach Boys’ Pet Sounds and Disney film scores. This autumn, Trudy and the Romance return with a new sonic direction; creating an energetic yet lovelorn take on Americana and romantic Country, with the release of their new album ‘Blue Thunder’.
