Burning The Ground Exclusive 1981

“Wonderlust” was the third and final single released by The Fallout Club a British synthpop and new wave band formed by Irish singer Trevor Herion, the experimental drummer Paul Simon, Thomas Dolby on keyboards, and bassist Matthew Seligman released on October 19th, 1981.

The short-lived band only released three singles on Happy Birthday Records and split up shortly afterward. Dolby went on to have a successful solo career, Simon went to work with Glen Matlock, Seligman joined The Thompson Twins, while vocalist Trevor Herion released a handful of singles and an LP as a solo artist between 1982-1983. Sadly, those records failed to garner much attention, and Herion committed suicide in October of 1988.
