hi, new to the forum here. I grew up in the US hardcore punk scene but spent many a night listening to long island, ny's WLIR during it's mid 80's new wave hayday, and will always have a soft spot for those zongs.

I started out in the late 70's on New Wave, gravitated towards punk/HC in about 1983, but never gave up the love of synth music.

If you dig punk and new wave you gotta check out The Epoxies, one of the best going on right now.

Just about anything on the "Dirtnap" label or "Hostage" Records.

There is a great band called The Minds.

Get there CD you'll love it.

If you like The Yeah Yeah Yeahs then go to the iTunes Music Store and check out the new exclusive non-album track from them called "Yeah! New York". It's really good IMHO.

www.electromancer.com is a good site with demos from all different styles of underground/independant electronic artists.

The new new wave bands are ok... but it's just not the same. Gone is the flair we saw in the 80's-- the gender-bending (Culture Club, Frankie), the crazy hair (AFOS, B-52's, Missing Persons), colors and costumes (Adam & the Ants, Sigue Sigue Sputnik, etc.

Should perhaps have mentioned that last year's excellent recording by The Postal Service, "The Gift", is also chuck-filled with catchy 80's ish songs.

@Mr. DNA,

Why don't you and your band come to southern California???

You'd be well received just by the looks of you.

Any MP3s for us to hear???

Or Black Rebel Motorcycle Club's debut record, for that matter.

Uhhh....to my knowledge...there are two songs in the media section of the site....

the favorite seems to be "You Turn Me Off (I Said)"...
