New Waves-45s from the Post

0 - Default Title
Description
New Waves captures the essence of a brilliantly vibrant era in music (1978-82), with 45 45s on this new 2CD set. Surfing the wave of post-punk, these bands combined the energy and anger with which punk had reinvigorated a stagnant music scene, but added a little more glamour, politics and, well... tunefulness to proceedings. Included are the edgy, spiky sounds of Elvis Costello's "Pump It Up", The Jam's "The Eton Rifles", Ian Dury's "Wake Up & Make Love With Me", The Lambrettas' "Poison Ivy", Stiff Little Fingers' "Alternative Ulster", The Jags' "Back of My Hand" and The Vapors' anthem "Turning Japanese". It's punky: Siouxsie & Banshees, Spizzenergi, The Ruts, The Buzzcocks... poppy: Teardrop Explodes, Sparks, Robert Palmer, The Pretenders... and finally, pubby: Splodgenessabounds, Ten Pole Tudor, The Piranhas and Jilted John... and there's plenty more 45s to be found in this inspired collection.
