- Romeo Void was a New Wave band in San Francisco, California active from 1979 to 1985. They are best known for the songs "Never Say Never" (1982) and "A Girl in Trouble (Is a Temporary Thing)" (1984), which were minor hits, with the latter becoming a Top 40 pop single. Their popularity was primarily in alternative and college radio, and as a dynamic performing act. They recorded for 415/Columbia Records. The original band members met at the San Francisco Art Institute. Most of the band members were also visual artists and did their own album art. Romeo Void was the subject of a minor controversy in 1985 when the band's lyrics proved too offensive and led to the removal of CJSW's rooftop speakers at the University of Calgary, in Calgary, Alberta, Canada. After the demise of Romeo Void, Debora Iyall, the lead singer and lyricist, released a solo album in 1986 named Strange Language. She eventually put together and sang in the groups Knife in Water and Lower East Venus. John Haines played drums for Pearl Harbor and the Explosions. The band was reunited briefly in 2004 for a one-off concert by VH-1's Bands Reunited, although Benjamin Bossi was unable to perform due to hearing loss. The band wrote and recorded four demo tracks in October 1993 (If I Was Your Cat, Stormy Eyes, Two Rivers, and Safe Place), which were sent to Sony Music but never released. The song "Never Say Never" was featured in the 1984 film Reckless and is featured in the 2002 videogame Grand Theft Auto: Vice City as part of the New wave radio station Wave 103. In 2009 the band Julien-K covered Never Say Never on their debut album Death to Analog, listing the song title as Nvr Say Nvr.
- Romeo Void est un groupe de musique fondé à San Francisco en 1979. D'influence New Wave, il est célèbre pour deux titres : Never Say Never composé en 1982 et A Girl In Trouble Is A Temporary Thing, 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 renouveau 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.
- 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 "A Girl in Trouble " попал в Топ 40), тексты песен были признаны слишком резкими и оскорбительными, а сам альбом оказался слабее первых релизов. 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.
