The year of 1982 started out with an EP release from Romeo Void (click here for my review of Never Say Never). The band followed it on August 6th with Benefactor, their second studio album and another thirtieth anniversary release. The record reached number 119 on the US Billboard Hot 200 charts.

Romeo Void - Never Say Never

Hailing from San Francisco, California, the American rock band Romeo Void combined post-punk and new wave styles to create their sound. Following their debut album It’s a Condition in 1981, the group (consisting of Peter Woods, Benjamin Bossi, Frank Zincavage, Larry Carter and Debora Iyall) followed it up in January of 1982 with a four song EP entitled Never Say Never. Ric Ocasek of the Cars was one of the producers on the record.
