dbo:abstract Romeo Void est un groupe de musique fondé à San Francisco en 1979. D'influence new wave, il est célèbre pour deux titres : composé en 1982 et , datant de 1984. Peu reconnus au moment de leur sortie, ces titres ont plus tard intégré le Top 40 des singles de musique pop. Le groupe a d'abord occupé les scènes du rock alternatif, captant un public pointu et appréciateur des membres : la plupart étaient en effet artistes visuels, étudiant ou travaillant au San Francisco Art Institute, et créaient leurs propres albums, souvent de musique expérimentale ou alternative. Un certain regain d'intérêt affecte les deux titres phares depuis que Never Say Never a été utilisé dans la bande son du jeu vidéo Grand Theft Auto en tant que représentant de la tendance new wave. * Portail de la musique * Portail de la Californie (fr) Romeo Void was an American new wave/post punk band from San Francisco, California, formed in 1979.

They are best known for the songs "Never Say Never" and "A Girl in Trouble (Is a Temporary Thing)"; the latter became a Top 40 pop single. The band was started at the San Francisco Art Institute by Iyall and Zincavage. They released a single on the recently formed 415 Records before recording their debut album, which has been deemed a "masterpiece of American post-punk". The success of their second release, a four-song EP, Never Say Never resulted in a distribution deal with Columbia Records. The band continued to release music and tour until they broke up in 1985. The members have reunited briefly over the years. Iyall has continued to pursue music as a side project. Iyall garnered acclaim as a skilled lyricist who explored themes like sexuality and alienation from a female perspective with "searing imagery". (en) Romeo Void — одна из групп новой волны, существовавшая с 1979 по 1985 годы. Наиболее известными песнями группы являются «Never Say Never» (1981) и «A Girl in Trouble (Is a Temporary Thing)» (1984), хотя даже эти хиты были популярны в основном на небольших местных и альтернативных радиостанциях. Несмотря на то, что в 1984 году группа достигла определенного коммерческого успеха (сингл с третьего студийного альбома (Instincts) «A Girl in Trouble (Is a Temporary Thing)» попал в Топ 40), тексты песен были признаны слишком резкими и оскорбительными, а сам альбом оказался слабее первых релизов (It’s a Condition и Benefactor). Отношения в группе стали напряженными (каждый из трех альбомов записывался с разными барабанщиками) и в 1985 году Romeo Void прекратили деятельность. Позже, в октябре 1993 года члены группы собрались вместе и записали четыре демо-дорожки (If I Was Your Cat, Stormy Eyes, Two Rivers, и Safe Place), которые были отправлены в Sony Music. Однако воссоединения группы и выхода нового альбома за этим не последовало, а песни так и не были изданы. Песня «Never Say Never» была представлена в фильме Джеймса Фоули «Reckless» (1984), а также вошла в саундтрек к игре Grand Theft Auto: Vice City 2002 года как одна из композиций радиостанции Wave 103.
