The Romantics are an American rock band that emerged from Detroit, Michigan, in the late 1970s. Their musical style fuses elements of new wave, punk rock, and power pop, with a strong emphasis on memorable hooks and harmonies. Key members include Wally Palmar, Mike Skill, Rich Cole, and Jimmy Marinos, the latter of whom is recognized for his distinctive, energetic drumming. The band's most influential work is arguably "What I Like About You," a single that has endured in popular culture since its release in 1979 and significantly influenced the direction of power pop in the 1980s.
