The only Dutch new wave band I know of are The Mo, who are very good. Can you suggest any others? I prefer synthpop and dance rock. A Dutch group similar to say Duran Duran or A Flock of Seagulls.

Hi Humanracer,

Thinking of synthpop and dance rock I can come up with these bands to try.

Bands I followed already in the eighties are:

The Dutch
Secret Sounds
Casual Affairs
Powerplay
The Nits (until Henk)
The Meteors
Social Security

When I started my search and this Compilation series by the end of February the following:

Ce Soir
Media
Twinkling Tears
Duplex Johnson
What's In A Name
