Warm, In Your Coat Review by William Ruhlmann

Punk bands, of course, were not meant to last, and even if Romeo Void, with their dance beats and warm sax sound, as well as a distinctive lead singer with a gift for soundbite lyrics, seemed to have more commercial potential than most, their five-year, three-album existence was long enough to make some noise, make some compromises, and make it out alive. This 15-song, 65-minute compilation is notable not only for the signature songs -- "White Sweater," "Myself to Myself," "A Girl in Trouble (Is a Temporary Thing)," and, especially, "Never Say Never" -- but also for revealing the range of a band that seemed at the time mostly a backdrop for Debora Iyall. Romeo Void were a band, and from the evidence of this set, a good one, too.
