Manufactured Romance was a pop punk band from London, England, who were active from 1979 until 1982. Although only two studio tracks were recorded while the band was active, the band achieved note and considerable later anthologisation.

The band lineup was Nick Medlin (bass), Benny Di Massa (drums), Bob Moore (guitar), Mark Chapman (guitar) and Nina Spencer (vocals).[1]

They were contemporaries of the UK Subs and Doll By Doll (Nina also supplied backing vocals on some Doll By Doll recordings), playing their first show January 22nd, 1979 at the Marquee, supporting UK Subs.[1]

The band did a number of reunion shows in August 2008.[2][3][4]
