"One of a band's biggest challenges is finding its own sound, and the World Romantic has done it ...the first cut, "Pop Culture," is distinctive: Lead singer James Dzuris caresses fragile lines like "Leave me here with these bruises" in a glass-menagerie tenor as keyboards, guitars, strings and the rhythm section of bassist Trevor Noel and brother Joe Dzuris on drums provides a luxuriantly sentimental backdrop." ~ Westword
"Sure, doe-eyed, melodic, lush, piano-laced rock has been done to death in recent years, even by some notable Denver bands, but this new quartet dives in as if it's all brand-new and surfaces with a fresh and sincere take on the genre. James Dzuris's irresistible honey-and-heroin vocals will wear away your resistance."
~ Westword
"Denver band The World Romantic is something of an anomaly: With its irony-free moniker and vast, sweeping melodies, the band offers an epic reinterpretation of the traditional love song, employing classical piano lines and the sort of production values usually associated with stadium acts." ~ The Onion
Hello.
The World Romantic was born in radio waves and sleepless dreams. Settling into the Denver scene with a background in classical music, James along with brother Joseph, began refining their ideas and playing with different bands in an effort to breathe in a touch of the fever that their favorite groups were creating. Set with bassist Trevor Noel, their gaze is now focused on their own place in the big lights. They are presently playing shows and working to gain momentum following the recording of their new EP, One Hundred Million Lights.
"It's difficult these days to sound completely fresh, and we would love to feel like we've drawn on everything we are influenced by and taken it all in our own direction. We've just been looking for this sound, that's the easiest way to put it, and it has taken some time." The songs are at the same time intelligent and easy to absorb, and come emotionally charged to the core. From stadium anthems with giant guitars, to haunting melodies and ethereal pianos, the ideas are big and the music follows suit. Stay tuned, The World Romantic have just gotten started...
..........THE WORLD ROMANTIC WILL RISE FROM THE ASHES/////
