Halifax rockers Matt Mays & El Torpedo's second full band album, Terminal Romance, will be released on July 8 by Sonic Records.

Mays (guitar, vocals), Jay Smith (guitar, vocals), Andy Patil (bass, vocals) and Tim Jim Baker (drums) headed to southern England late last year to hook up with producer Chris Tsangarides (Thin Lizzy, Judas Priest) to record Terminal Romance. Lead single "Tall Trees" is at radio now.
