Not exactly New Wave, but anything by The Pogues or The Waterboys is likely to have accordion in it. And let's not forget Wierd Al.

I think They Might Be Giant also use accordions.

I hear some accordion in here:

Sideway Look - Til the Bitter End

Self titled Sideway Look is a great album by the way.

Also, not sure if the "new wave" label really fits, but Weddings, Parties, Anything's "Roaring Days" album is full of accordion from top to bottom. Not for everyone, but a great band to hear live at an Irish pub. Fun!

Not New Wave-but definitely on the New Music tip in the 80s-Los Lobos, and some of the polka-oriented bands like The Wallets and The Black Dots.

If they are counted as new wave at all . . . practically everything by They Might Be Giants. :P
