I don't personally consider them new wave, but like them myself.

I would group Riverside and Ocean Blue very closely. BTW, liking these, you would love The Rosemarys.

Ivy and The Sundays are that gentler pop sound, and liking these, and Trespassers

I don't really consider anything in the 90's or newer New Wave. I think I will always see NW as part of the 80's.

I like these bands a lot, too.

I don't consider them new wave, but you can hear a clear connection between 80's bands like Cocteau Twins and 90's bands like Lush, The Sundays, Mazzy Star, and The Cranberries.

I have a pretty broad definition of new

Not New Wave, but how about "Pop for people with good taste". [:D]
