Romeo Void. No one else ever talks about them. For some reason, I think about them quite a bit and think that their songs are more interesting than many out now. Cool picks, FSC. :thumbsup:

[fudge stripe cookays]

66. Thanks!

And I LOVE "Girl in Trouble is a Temporary Thing". It's even less Ever."

I'm sure part of the reason they didn't make it bigger in the M-TV age was because Deborah Iyall wasn't a hot little stick. But she did have an interesting voice, and the sax made up for it.
