The Metatrons / Simon Love & the Old Romantics

About

The Metatrons are a delightfully fuzzy Riot-Pop band from Hertfordshire. After signing to Chapter 22 Records they released their "Deconstruction" album, which was a fantastic critical success, being called "The pinnacle of quality pop" and "a thunderous slice of pop majesty". Vive le Rock said the album was "bursting with bright, breezy driving rhythms...you should hear them".

The band toured the album, opening for Altered Images on their UK tour in 2022 to add to the list of great bands they've worked with - Shonen Knife, Echobelly, The Primitives, Dodgy, The Blockheads, The Darling Buds, The Membranes, Steve Craddock, The Lovely Eggs and Glen Matlock to name but a few.

2023 and 2024 had more great shows and a summer full of festival appearances, as they released their 4th album "Lumination" on Chapter 22 Records in June. Album no.5 "The Ever-Present Now" coming in June 2026!

Simon Love & the Old Romantics: Imagine Randy Newman's epic storytelling filtered through the Britishness of Ray Davies, with music that veers from mid-60s pop and country to ELO, served up in a style that bears similarities with a sardonic post Britpop Jarvis Cocker. After imagining all that, please lower your expectations and you wont be disappointed by Simon Love.

Simon Love and his group, The Old Romantics, play songs from his latest album, "THE ONE TRUE PRINCE OF WALES (in exile after abdication)" which is out on Hurrah Musica in April 2026.
