The latest single from Dillon Ryan & The Dream Romantic is the equivalent of a New Wave lament for having lost the metaphorical thread on the story of your life. The band, based out of Moncton, New Brunswick, wear their influences on their sleeves as they work with producer John Mullane (In-Flight Safety) to channel the ’80s in a big way as “The Story” lays out a tale of two lovers who could benefit from a bit of a refresher.
