The prompt is VoidRomeo Void, “Never Say Never” from Benefactor, 1982
I’m highlighting this one song - perhaps #RomeoVoid’s most well-known, so least likely to need highlighting - because everything about it is so emblematic of the #PostPunk/ #NewWave of the early #80s: The scratching guitar adding texture more than melody, the pounding drums propelling the song without commenting or elaborating on it, the driving bass, as closest thing to a lead instrument, the disaffected, double-tracked spoken vocals, and for good measure, dollops of #sax punctuating the spiky proceedings with some full, shiny musicality.
When this hit my ears - crisp, snarky, and female-empowering - it was so refreshing, in a more spare, lean way than the wire-scrubbing-brush-to-the-ear of all-out #punk, as a caustic tool for dislodging the pablum of dentist-office muzak and commercial radio sludge that shrouded so much of life at the time.
