Real Thing / Action & Romance LP

Real Thing and Action & Romance, LeBrock's first two records, got remastered and reissued through FiXT's synthwave imprint FiXT Neon after NewRetroWave's early push behind "Call Me" built the Peterborough duo an audience. Shaun Phillips and Michael Medows started the project as a side gig, built almost entirely from programmed synths and drum machines, with guitar standing as the one instrument actually played rather than triggered. Phillips's rock-leaning vocals sit on top of that mostly synthetic bed.
