Two words for you Franz Ferdinand, an amazing band they have that 80's sound to them, "Take Me Out" kind of sounds like Egyptian Reggae by Jonathan Richman & The Modern Lovers

here's some others:

Freezepop
The Killers
Veils
The Rasmus?

Thanks,

I highly recommend the Swedish group The Sounds. Their debut album "Living in America" has that classic new wave sound--influences include Blondie, Missing Persons, Berlin, etc. You'll swear you already know every track on the album.

There are tons of cool new Wave-ish synthpop acts out there.

Here's a few free mp3s from a good one called <a href="http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/stores/artist/-/digital-music/220068/102-7995111-1076951">Neuropa<a/>. They are very much in the v

I Am the World Trade Center.

This is a great band with a really stupid name, chosen prior to 9-11. Great new wave dance music. I'm listening to their new album "The Cover Up" right now and it's straight out of 1983.
