Up and coming rock outfit ROMANS are thrilled to announce that they will self-release their long awaited debut album – = + (pronounced Less Is More) on the 24th July.

To celebrate, the quartet have revealed the video to their song Bet which was directed and produced by the band themselves.

Talking of the new album, vocalist/guitarist Tom Sivell says:

“After sitting on this stuff for over 18 months, we’re insanely happy to finally be able to show people what we’ve been working on!”

Having sat on the album for over a year the 10 tracks that make up – = + showcase a matured Romans, taking us on a journey from the vibrantly catchy melodies, sing-a-long choruses and bouncy percussion ofMary, to the mellow and heartfelt Paul. However, the band’s creativity stems much further than their music, with the title of the album mirroring a theme of simplicity also through the artwork, song titles and the videos to Romans’ three lead singles, which are a testament to the well-known phrase that in fact, less is more.

Since the release of their EP Cravatte Nere in 2012 – which turned heads at Kerrang! and Rock Sound –Romans have successfully cemented themselves on the live circuit, sharing stages with names includingMallory Knox, Nothing But Thieves, Feed The Rhino, Max Raptor, Palm Reader, Allusondrugs andPeace. The sheer diversity of the list is enough in itself to justify the accessibility of the quartet.
