“It has this can-do spirit. Nothing’s impossible. To me, Romford is as rich an environment as Manhattan.” Karl Hyde, the Guardian

Romford has always been an integral part of the Underworld story. In the band’s early years, the East London satellite town almost became its own character in Karl Hyde’s diaries - an end of the line reference point among Dirty Epic’s sainted rhythms or the light at the end of a tunnel in Born Slippy: NUXX’s fever dream.

As much an influence on the band as the grimy streets of New York or London’s underground club scene in the early ’90s, Romford was where it all came together, there in the spare bedroom of a two-up, two-down terrace house a ten minute walk from the station - a location as pivotal in Underworld’s story as Studio Two, Abbey Road was to The Beatles or Kling Klang studio in Dusseldorf is to Kraftwerk. Lofty claims, maybe, but rarely has a sound and the energy of the location taken on such a unique form.

The journey from London to Romford was its own story. Transit to and from the city was either via by the A12 Autobahn or on the drunk train out of Liverpool Street. Each would give its own account of the metropolis somewhere off shimmering in the distance. The lights and the voices along that journey proved a constant source of inspiration to both the music and the lyrics of Underworld records.

Romford has always been worn as badge of pride for Underworld. It’s the reason they’ve chosen to name their signature clothing line in tribute to the place, a range of short run items that promise to be imbued with the spirit of the place. Each item will allow you - wherever you are in the world - to finally lay a claim to have been Made in Romford.
