Hi, I'm new to the board. I was wondering if there were any wavers on here in their 20's like me? Some people call it neo new wave, but I just wanna get in touch with other new wave fans since it seems to be making a come back...finally.

Fortunately I made it in time to get down with the Jesus and Mary Chain, Charlatans UK, Pixies, later XTC, Morrissey s

Embrace the original new wave and dive deep cuz there is a hell of a lot of great stuff out there. I was 14 in '77 when I first entered the world of punk/new wave/synth pop/power pop/etc and I still discover new stuff from that period all the time. And

Glad (as hell / as well) to see all of you younger generations discovering new wave! (That makes me sound old doesn't it?) I started the New Wave Outpost site back in 1996 when the web was just starting to take off, hoping to help others locate that great

Hey. i am interested in any kind of CD/MP3/anything musical. Heck, I would be satisfied if you gave me like 3 gigs of sample MP3s.
