Combo Audio was a new wave〔(Lost Bands Of The New Wave Era )〕 group from Champaign-Urbana, Illinois best known for their song "Romanticide."
==History==
Combo Audio was formed as a vehicle for songs written by John Kellogg and collaborator Rick Neuhus that evolved into a band. Several of their songs began to be played on local radio stations before their first gig. The group signed with local indy start up label Secret Records formed as a vehicle for Combo Audio music. Produced by Dana Walden and the group, the first single of "Romanticide" was produced and released as a single b/w "It's a Crime". "Romanticide" received "Top Single Pick" in Billboard as a result and received further airplay on college radio and major stations in Chicago, New York and Los Angeles. Following creative differences original bassist Tom Broske was replaced by Angus Thomas. Ken Adamany who managed Cheap Trick showed interest and engaged to manage the group. The group signed with EMI America and produced an EP ''Combo Audio'' that was released in late 1983. Dana Walden began production if the EP with The Psychedelic Furs engineer Ian Taylor engineering and mixing with Paul Klingberg as second engineer. Eventually Walden was dropped from the project and the band and Ian Taylor finished the record at The Cars Synchro Sound studios in Boston with Taylor producing and engineering. Several years of nearly non-stop touring in mostly the Midwest United States followed. The group played in concert clubs and university shows and other large venues. They co-billed with or shared stages with the Talking Heads, U2, Billy Idol, Duran Duran, The Tubes, JoBoxers, Berlin, Missing Persons, Stray Cats and INXS.
Starting in 1984, fissures began to appear. There was a disagreement between Secret Records and EMI over ownership of the group. Kellogg signed a publishing deal with Warner Chappell Music which led to more disagreements and disputes with Walden. In the middle of this to the dismay of the group EMI began to push the band to produce a more "commercial" pop sound. Legal complaints and threats of litigation appeared. While awaiting resolution of the disputes EMI cut support to the band. In 1985, after a company shakeup EMI fired the group. In 1986, Kellogg and Thomas revamped a new version of the group with drummer David Suycott and other additional players. The group performed live in 1986 and 1987 with these additional players. Kellogg and Thomas continued to write and record independently with engineer, producer Paul Klingberg.
