* 2) An early new wave band which was part of the English musical scene originated by punk in the 1970s. The group was formed by the American-born singer Ian North, who was the frontman and the only continuous member from the band formation in 1977 to the end in 1979.
In 1976, Ian North (lead vocals, guitar) travelled with the band Milk 'N' Cookies for which he was the guitarist, to London to record a new album but they never made it and the group took separate ways. Only North stayed in London, meeting Brian Eno and Martin Gordon (bass), who a few years previously had founded, with ex John's Children's Andy Ellison, the glam band Jet. North created a new band called Radio and invited Paul Simon (drums), who formed part of Limmie Funk Limited (with Limmie Snell) to join them and completed the line-up. The band was post-punk, but after only one gig, supporting Ultravox! in November 1976, Gordon dropped out. The band recruited George Dyner to replace Gordon, but in April 1977, North took his place on bass and continuing singing, and Paul's brother Robert was introduced on guitar.
According to Paul Simon, Radio (nowadays credited as Ian North's Radio) recorded some songs in the studio, which he remastered in 2007. In mid 1977, Paul Simon accompanied Martin Gordon, forming part of Radio Stars and recording with them "Good Personality", a 7" single, and other tracks, some of which were eventually released on Radio Stars' compilation "Somewhere There's A Place For Us". He was asked to stay with them, but preferred continuing with North in Neo.
Neo
As a three piece band, Radio immediately transformed to Neo. North became the bassist, and in this way the group continued until February/March 1978, when Robert Simon dropped out and formed part of Ultravox. North sacked Paul Simon, and included session players in his project: ex-ZZebra members, Steve Byrd on guitar and John McCoy on bass, and Bryson Graham on drums. They recorded an album in Ian Gillan's studio, and after Gillan heard them, he hired Byrd and McCoy away from North. Gillan and the ex-Neo musicians formed Gillan. Only Graham stayed with North.
North renewed Neo again with Steve Wilkin (ex-Wired and Masterwitch) on guitar, Nick South on bass and Graham on drums, but shortly afterwards South and Graham were replaced by Mik Sweeney and Derek Quinton, respectively. Later Dan Black completed the line-up as keyboardist. That line-up toured with Magazine, doing gigs promoting their single "Tran-Sister", released that year.
After changes of line-ups, Neo split up in 1979 because North had to return to the US. Sweeney joined The News and, later, Classix Nouveaux, Steve Wilkin joined Random Hold, Quinton joined Sector 27, with Tom Robinson, and Black formed Psychic TV.
Following his return to the US, Ian North became a hairdresser and artist.

So Sick Of Love Songs
Neo Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
No that I'm alone
'Cause right now it says that we
Can't come to the phone
And I know it makes to sence
'Cause you walked out the door
But it's the only way I hear your voice
Anymore
(It's ridiculous)
It's been months for some reason I
(Can't get over us)
And I'm stronger than this
(Enough is enough)
No more walking 'round with ma head down
I'm so over being blue
Crying over you
And I'm so sick of love songs
So tierd of tears
So done with wishing
You were still here
Said I'm so sick of love songs
So sad and slow
So why can't I turn off the radio?
Gotta six that callender I had
That's marked July 15th
'Cause since there's no more you
There's no more anniversery
I'm so fed up of my thoughts of you
And your memories
And now every song reminds me
Of what used to be
That's the reason I'm
And I'm so sick of love songs
So tierd of tears
So done with wishing
You were still here
Said I'm so sick of love songs
So sad and slow
So why can't I turn off the radio?
O-o-h (Leave me alone)
Leave me alone (Stupid love song)
Hey,
Don't make me think about her smile
Or having my first child
Then lettin go
Turning of the radio
'Cause I'm
And I'm so sick of love songs
So tierd of tears
So done with wishing
You were still here
Said I'm so sick of love songs
So sad and slow
So why can't I turn off the radio?

In Neo's song "So Sick Of Love Songs," the lyrics express Neo's distaste for anything related to love and relationships. The first verse talks about changing his answering machine message because hearing his ex-lover's voice is the only way he can hear it. He acknowledges that it's ridiculous because his ex-partner left him, but he's still not over them. The second verse talks about needing to fix the calendar marking July 15th because he realizes there's no longer any reason to celebrate the anniversary of their relationship. Every song reminds him of what once was, and he's tired of being reminded. However, he also acknowledges that he cannot turn off the radio and escape the constant reminders.
Neo's song "So Sick Of Love Songs" was a huge commercial success, reaching the top ten in Billboard's Hot 100 in 2006. The song was released as the second single from his second studio album, "Because Of You." Neo's background as a songwriter and producer is evident in his lyrics and the catchy melody. The song's overall theme of heartbreak and a failed relationship made it incredibly relatable and resonated with listeners globally.

Lyrics:
Mmmh, mmmh, Yeah (doo, doo, dooo, doo)

So sad and slow
So why can't I turn off the radio?
Gotta fix that calendar I have
That's marked July 15th
Because since there's no more you
There's no more anniversary
I'm so fed up with my thoughts of you
And your memory
And how every song reminds me
Of what used to be
That's the reason I'm so sick of love songs
So tired of tears
So done with wishing
She was still here
Said, I'm so sick of love songs
So sad and slow
Why can't I turn off the radio?
