Justin Biaggi and The Hopeless Romantics are a unique synthesis of a bygone 50s pop ethos and a straight-up garage rock vibe. Through a post-punk lens, they explore both the sounds of the doo-wop era and tragic balladeering in the tradition of Coldplay, resonating high energy that has been likened to the Foo-Fighters, and a sardonic humor that brings to mind the Queens of the Stone Age. The result is a clever sonic landscape that many have identified with Elvis Costello and the Attractions on the one hand, and Weezer on the other.
