Review
Alright folks, crank up the amplifiers and step right into the crowd! Released in 1983, "In Heat" by The Romantics sends shockwaves through the festival fields of new wave and power pop. This electrifying fourth album really marked a high point for the band, loaded with sing-along anthems and contagious energy. Crafted under the wizardry of producer Peter Solley, it radiates with the quintessential '80s vibe that defined an entire era of music.
Headliners "Talking in Your Sleep" and "One in a Million" took listeners by storm, igniting dance floors with irresistible grooves. Tracks like "Rock You Up" and "Diggin' on You" pump up the volume with relentless riffs and powerhouse vocals from Wally Palmar and crew. Don’t miss "Shake a Tail Feather" as it throws a nostalgic nod to 1960s rock. Enhanced by Peter Solley's crisp production, this album felt like a live gig exclusive, amplified further by appearances on shows like "Solid Gold" and "Soul Train." Certified gold on both sides of the border, "In Heat" remains a standout record flashing the bold and dynamic sounds of the 1980s, an era unquestionably adorned by this unforgettable collection. - Cody
