Trevor Herion, born John Trevor Herion, (c. April 1959 – 1 October 1988) was an Irish singer and songwriter, born in Cork who formed part of the punk and new wave scenes in the 1970s and 1980s.
Failure to land a recording contract meant the band's dissolution but shortly after he was called to join as lead vocalist in a new wave band called the Civilians, comprised by Paul Simon (former Neo and Radio Stars) on drums, Mark Scholfield on guitar and Michael French on bass.
The band only released two singles: Made for Television/I See My Friends (Arista, November 1979) and without Herion or Simon and featuring Michael French on lead vocals In America/In Search of Pleasure (Secret, September 1980).
They only released three singles, which were "Falling Years"/"The Beat Boys",[1] "Dream Soldiers", "Pedestrian Walkway", "Wonderlust"/"Desert Song" (Happy Birthday Records, 1981).
Nevertheless, an argument over the unauthorised remixing of a 7" version resulted in Levine taking his name off the album and refusing to promote it.
