1981 hasn't been as fashionable since - well, 1981, so Never Say Never really does sound like it could have been recorded yesterday. Post-punk blocks of Franz Ferdinand-ish guitars, an X-Ray Spex style tinny saxophone solo, and shouty vocals: Romeo Void's singer Deborah Lyall sounds a bit like Justine Frischmann, but in a good way. Produced by Ric Ocasek (no, me neither) from the Cars, according to Wikipedia.
This was quite possibly big in the US at the time - Romeo Void hailed from California - but I'd never heard of it (and believe me, I read every word of NME in 1981) until 50p Bloke's lovely girlfriend heard it on a web radio station.
