Comment:

You need only lend an ear to the bands of today who worship at the ’80s altar to realize that new wave is an ongoing experience, not an artifact of the past. Whether you want to backtrack to discover the influences of everyone from Franz Ferdinand to Arcade Fire or you’re a new wave alumnus looking to bring that feeling back into your bloodstream again, we’ve got you covered. From the four-alarm funk-rocking fire of Talking Heads’ “Burning Down the House” to the Manchester magic of New Order’s electro-dance anthem “Bizarre Love Triangle,” the scrappy power-pop of the late ’70s to the sparkling synth-pop of the ’80s, we’ve wrangled you an invitation to the ultimate all-night new wave dance party.
