Heard a good song by 707 called I could be good for you. Anyone out there familiar with this band. Were they, are they, considered a new wave band? Other good songs. Are they still around?

I've sen an LP by them in the record store all the time and have debated picking it up but never have, sorry.

I only have one track of theirs, Slow Down, thanks to Randy and the CD exchange. I don't know if I would call them New Wave. Definitely an eighties flavor but I think they're more of a rock band. You can preview the tracks that are available on iTunes.

There was a thread about 707 a few months ago. I can't remember which section it was in. I'm sure you'll find it if you do a search.

First lp was decent-2nd not so hot. Not new wave--more on the rock side.

707 is most definitely not new wave, but they ARE a good example of non-mainstream, 80's AOR. The debut lp has the minor hit "I could be good for you", which I really like.
None of it's going to blow you away (ie - "how did these guys not make it huge?") but if you're like me, you'll like it as a reminder of the sound of the era.
Similar bands would be something like Harlequin or Shooting Star.

The "Mega Force" album by 707 says on the back: "Special Thanks to REO Speedwagon for their help and friendship."
I just thought that was funny.
BTW I know this because I have it.
