And what could be more NEW WAVE than all the Acronym Bands: OMD, XTC, INXS, U2, REM, & others ?![8D]

The name is ok but as far as the Fine young cannibals being New Wave argh- they had that one pop hit in the late 80's. "She drives me crazy". My ears hurt whenever I hear that song. Maybe they had other good tunes that I am not aware of.[:)]
