Cultural Facts:

  1. Personal Struggle: The Romantics later spent years fighting legal and royalty disputes, claiming they lost control of earnings and career momentum after their biggest commercial peak.
  2. Studio Lore: In Heat gave the band its slickest radio sound, tightening their garage-rock roots into bright 80s hooks, big drums, and glossy power-pop production.
  3. Media Narrative: “Talking In Your Sleep” pushed them onto MTV and pop radio, turning a Detroit club band with matching red suits into a new-wave hit machine.

    This place is a little tucked away but easy to find. Though it’s not a big shop, it has a great selection of records at great prices! The guy who helped me out at the counter was friendly and really helpful! If I were in the area again, I would definitely go back.

    Power plant records is the best! Great selection of vinyl, the owner and staff are super cool and one of the best things about them are the local shows they put on at Stuft Pizza to support local punk bands like Repeater and Simulator (aka Current Location).
