Musick that Needed Work: T - Trevor Herion

 

Trevor Herion was a Cork, Ireland born singer. 

 



He started his musical career in his late teens (late 1970s) as lead singer for The Puritans, a Cork pub-rock band. From there he went on to become lead singer the new wave band The Civilians. Early 1980s Herion formed the Fallout Club with Civilians drummer Paul Simon with Thomas Dolby - keyboards & Matthew Seligman - bass.

The group was short-lived & split-up shortly after releasing a series of three singles. Dolby went on to a successful solo career, Simon went to work with Glen Matlock, Seligman joined Thompson Twins, Herion pursued a solo career as well but failed to score any hits. He released the gravely under-rated full-length Beauty Life album in 1983. Beauty Life failed to gain any kind of significant notice & after a few years he fell into a devastating depression which ultimately led to his taking his own life in 1988.
