New Wave

The term New Wave itself is a source of much confusion. It was introduced in 1976 in Great Britain by Sex Pistols manager Malcolm McLaren as an alternative label for what was also being called “punk”. The term referenced the avant-garde, stylish French New Wave film movement of the 1960s. The label was soon picked up by British punk fanzines such as Sniffin’ Glue and then the professional music press.[1] Thus, the term “New Wave” was initially interchangeable with “punk”.

Did anyone catch how new wave & pop man Howard Jones has become a grawler? Killswitch Engage & Blood Has Been Shed are two of the Grawl bands he's has sung in. All I can say is wow!

New Wave and Post-Punk dominates my library :)), I just wished there'd be someone in my school who shares the same musical tastes as mine :<, I like a lot of new wave bands! but most of them are the totally obscured ones! such as Colour Radio (aaaa not here on last.fm!?) and Voice of America (songs like "Story of Love", and "I Will Tell"), but anyways, New Wave isn't dead!
