Some of you may remember being wowed earlier this year when Melbourne band Romero (https://www.facebook.com/Romeroband/) released their debut single Honey. It was a power pop classic and the b side, Neapolitan, wasn't half bad either. Happily they won't be remembered as "one hit wonders" as they've just dropped a rather splendid follow up.
They're a 5 piece with a line up of Alanna Oliver (vocals), Adam Johnstone (guitar), Fergus Sinclair (guitar), Justin ‘Murry’ Tawil (bass) and Dave Johnstone (drums). The single's titled Troublemaker and it marries up the soulful vocals of Alanna Oliver with some playful instrumentation that reminds me a little of Sheer Mag. It's classy stuff and you can find it here : https://romeromelbourne.bandcamp.com/track/troublemaker
Troublemaker...
Hey you with the platinum blonde hair
Troublemaker
I cross the line if I see you standing there
Troublemaker
I’m seeing double in the light of the reflection
Troublemaker
And this development is causing my aggression
Troublemaker
I know that you have good taste
Hell, we might have to
I'm not relying on a sense of affection
Troublemaker
Who’s getting all the attention
Troublemaker
What about if I told you it don’t feel right
Troublemaker
Anytime of the day or night troublemaker
I know that you have good taste
Hell, we might have to
Have to cut ties, to cut ties
Off the shirt he wear
Bring a needle and a thread
I cross my heart and I hope to hell that we
Cut ties, have to cut ties
Off the shirt he wear
Bring a needle and a thread
I cross my heart and I hope to hell that we
It's everywhere in my peripheral vision
Troublemaker
I’m seeing red I guess I caught the condition
Troublemaker
What about when I told you it don’t feel right
Troublemaker
You get yours ‘cause I’ve got mine.. I’ve got mine
Troublemaker
I know that you have good taste
Hell, we might have to
Have to cut ties, to cut ties
Off the shirt he wear
Bring a needle and a thread
I cross my heart and I hope to hell that we
Cut ties, have to cut ties
Off the shirt he wear
Bring a needle and a thread
I cross my heart and I hope to hell that we… Oooh
