SvR set for Wolvo gig (From Stourbridge News)

SvR set for Wolvo gig

11:11am Monday 31st March 2008 in Night Life

STOURBRIDGE rockers Science Vs Romance sing about love, broken hearts, life on the road and the occasional murder.

The four-piece, featuring frontman Matthew Vale, look set to help put their home town back on the musical map and have already been described as Emo friendly children of the Ned's', a reference to Ned's Atomic Dustbin who were among artists from Stourbridge who topped the charts in the early 90s.

SvR released their debut EP, called From The Back Seat...', in early March and are getting set for a series of live shows in the region during the coming months.

Catch SvR at Wolverhampton's Little Civic on Friday April 4, for more details visit www.myspace.com/sciencevsromancemusic
