Just wanted to let everyone know about a brand new band I discovered the other day that reminded me of Belin. Their name is A Kiss Could Be Deadly and they play a crazy dark mix of dance, punk rock and new wave. They sound like a cross between Berlin, fischerspooner, the Clash, Madonna and Depeche Mode and they have a sexy female singer. You can stream and/or download songs for free at www.myspace.com/akisscouldbedeadly . I saw them play live this weekend while visiting my cousin in CA and fell in love. I’ve been listening to their CD non-stop ever since. Give it a shot, I’m sure you’ll enjoy it.

...i they sound like "pleasure victim" early berlin, then count me in - i love that stuff...

course i could also point you to MY music project HELVISSA, we also have a similar sound, and are on myspace too - although we have some more up-to-date mp3's on www.helvissa.com.

Yeah! I like them!
Nice to hear something new that is actually listenable, songs that are good the whole way through. I like the new wave influences, but they still have their own sound. I'd like to see them live. I think I'll check them out in L.A. ;o)

Check out Berlin's new release: "4Play (iTunes Version)"

It includes covers like "Big Time", "Erotic City", "Fashion", "Never Let Me Down Again", and a great live version of "The Metro (Acoustic)".
