Page "Romeo Void" Paragraph 8

Romeo Void has generally been classified as a new wave or post-punk band.

Some critics have noted dance elements in the music.

According to Stewart Mason, writing for Allmusic, " band's muscular blend of Joy Division's atmospherics and the Gang of Four's rattling momentum, with Benjamin Bossi's splattering free jazz saxophone coloring everything, made Romeo Void one of the strongest of the American post-punk bands.

The St. Petersburg Times wrote that they " had no trouble creating a signature sound for with a scratchy guitar, soulful sax, tight, precise drums.

" The New York Times stated that they sounded like " an art-school band, with its textural complexity touches of jazz and funk " Saxophone player Benjamin Bossi has been observed as the ingredient that " set the band apart " and showed a " talent for both improvisation and arrangement.

" Alan Niester, writing for The Globe and Mail, said that he weaved " in and out [...] like a snake charmer " and reminded him of Andy Mackay, a saxophonist that played with Roxy Music.
