Romeo Void - Benefactor - 1982

This album probably falls into that New Wave category, but is still has plenty of post punk attitude instilled in it. The classic "Never Say Never" is a great example of what I'm talking about. The attitude in the vocals are filled with punk rock F you attitude.

I also like "Ventilation" a lot. The opening random line grabs you with it's attitude. "Why don't you give up" she says. She doesn't need to say anymore and I'm interested. "Wrap It Up" is also pretty good. Like "Never Say Never" it has some nice sax accompaniment. "Chinatown", "Shake The Hands Of Time" and "S.O.S." Round out the list for my recommended songs. If you're a casual listening of 80's new wave you may know "Never Say Never", but these other songs will hopefully be new and ones that you will also be adding to your playlists.

Enjoy!

I didn't know that about the singer. Thanks for the insight. Yeah the sax is a great revelation as far as I'm concerned. Take care

An excellent and underrated band - I didn't know about the vocalist eith... must have done a good job of hiding her.
