I saw them at the Download Festival and they were pretty much real good.

Rolling Stone says:

In the eighties, the only thing more important to a band than big hair was big hooks. The Lovemakers understand this, and that's why their major-label debut evokes the New Wave era more effectively than bands with lesser melodic skills. This Oakland, California, trio backs up its flashy outfits and camp stage act with classic pop craft. Ex-couple Scott Blonde and Lisa Light document their messy romantic blowout by singing to one another in classic Fleetwood Mac mode: Check how Blonde follows Light's Go-Go's-worthy "Set Me Free" with the jangly guitars of his despondent but still danceable "Falling Apart." Manchester-born Jason Proctor's synths spray sugar over the rock elements, and the winsome boy-girl harmonies substantiate the glitz with heart. Framed by two versions of their suitably dramatic single "Prepare for the Fight," Times of Romance delivers singalong melodies that linger long after the requisite dance-rock beats.

Yes, yes, have heard, they are good. I think they are managed by the former manager for The Killers? Or the guy who discovered them?

they sound good! like good pop 80's new romantic music, but not a 100% copy.. nice, nice.

ooooh I like. ALOT!

Damn these guys are awesome. Misery Loves Company was my hook, and all of Times of Romance needs to be shared.

also, totally didnt add them to my top 10 list in that other thread, but they probably deserve to be on there too. my bad.
