JD Romance
Only a band of four 20 year olds from the Imperial Valley could coin the name "encal" as a means to define their music. By fusing the sounds of England with those of California, JD Romance has managed to create a genre of music that is distinctly their own.
Originally from El Centro, California, a town 99.9% of the world's population will never travel to, the four band members Anthony, (vocals/guitar) Peter, (guitar) Art (bass) and Turtle (drums) formed JD Romance in 2004.
After gigging all throughout Imperial Valley, the band quickly realized that they would need a bigger city to play in. In 2005, JD Romance moved to San Diego where they now reside.

Have you performed live in front of an audience? Any special memories?
We play live. Where ever people will have us. Playing live is the best part of being in a band. All moments are special.
