Oingo Boingo - Same Man I Was Before - 1985

From their classic album "Dead Man's Party" this song goes under the radar for most. I just heard it again in this movie I was watching My Best Friend is a Vampire. I love their stuff and this song is another reason why. Too bad they never made a video for this song.

Roxy Music - Angel Eyes - 1979

I am bit behind, meant to post this the same time I did on Facebook but I forgot. Love this song, it's almost sort of disco but you can tell New wave could come from this song. I love Roxy and Bryan in the 80's especially. I am not as big of a fan of the early stuff with Eno. Sorry Eno. When Bryan also worked with David Gilmour, awesome!

Cetu Javu - Situations - 1988

I can not find this mix anywhere but on Youtube. I found a close one but I love this mix the most. Sounds a lot like New Order to me. German band.

It isn't embedded, darn.

Wire Train - Chamber of Hellos - 1984

San Fran band's first release. Sort of post punk, some may call them Dark wave too. *And I didn't mean to post this after I posted Wire but I saw Sirius played them. They were another band I found that I never got around to posting. Found their vinyl records a few months ago. Their 2nd album "Between Two Words" is really good too.



Here is another video that is from the same year, better quality too.

Wire - Ahead - 1987

Wire was a punk band from the late 70's but released this song in the 80's. A little less punk, more pop, but I think it just sounds more like Post punk.

Gang of Four - Is it Love - 1983

Known mainly for indie punk songs but here is a slightly pop new wave song. Very cooL!

The Smiths - That Joke Isn't Funny Anymore - 1985
