I can't say for sure that this band should be part of the "next wave", but as a fan of 80s music I can only say that I cannot get the song "Yani" by 52 Teenagers out of my head. The guitar riff that opens the song had me from the first listen.
It's available for free on their website, along with a few others, at http://www.52teenagers.com.
Evidently they are one of Manchester's "great unsigned bands". I don't know much about signing bands but that sure is a great song...
