| Rawb User Info... | Best New Wave band in Canadian history- Strange Advance. Their first album (Worlds Away)is a masterpiece with pictures and blueprints for stuctures where humans will live in a futuristic utopia. It also contains the single lyric which I feel is the thematic heart of new wave: "Where love is art is science..." Forget the second album. PLatinum Blonde "Standing In The Dark" is one of the strongest Canadian Pop albums ever, let alone New wave. "Don't Walk Past" by Blue Peter is a pretty great one hit wonder song. "Passion Of Love" by Boys Brigade is very servicable. The last two suffer from what was the undoing for a lot of new wave "single makers"--They just don't have enough below the surface to bear repeated listenings. Great hooks, but that's about it. - Sun, 23 Nov 2003 5:01am | ||

| KnifeGhost User Info... | Sunglasses at motherfucking Night!!!!! - Sun, 23 Nov 2003 7:09pm | ||
| Mike Demers User Info... | Rob - you are so right about Strange Advance - I was living in Edmonton at the time of Strange Advance and (remember?) Troc 57? one of Mo Berg's early bands?... and Scott I will look of a copy of Jukebox down at Lyle's... thank you gentlemen for your suggestions thus far! - Sun, 23 Nov 2003 7:35pm | ||
| ticklefish User Info... | The band wasn't new wave, but Red Rider's tune "Lunatic Fringe" gets into the territory. Or The Box "L'Affaire DuMoutier" - Mon, 24 Nov 2003 8:15am | ||
| ticklefish User Info... | Of course, one cannot forget Men Without Hats, but they are a given. Nettwerk had some great new wave bands in the mid-late 80's - Mon, 24 Nov 2003 8:16am | ||
| Broccoli User Info... | "Why is it that American Punk rock boys always go out with the bull-shit little new-wave hookers? I Don't Know, but I don't like it. I am from Norway, and in norway punk-rockers go out with punk-rock girls, or telephone hookers. Or, they go out with themselves, and do... homosexual activities..." - Mon, 24 Nov 2003 9:36am | ||
| The Mad Subwoofer User Info... | Corey Hart? Platinum Blonde?? Men w/o Hats?! C'mon people....New wave is..well, it ain't THAT. Best indigenous "New wave". Ok, what about The Enigma's"? They were sorta new wave; "Teenage Barnacle." The Modernettes; weren't they the ones with "B-a-r-b-a-r-a, Barbara." The Young Canadians mebee...? That might be pushin' it i dunno but I'll never forget Art Bergmans look of disgust when crowds demand to hear "Let's go to fuckin' Hawaii" out of him 20 some odd years later ( I think he hates that song, a classic!). - Tue, 25 Nov 2003 8:33pm | ||
| KnifeGhost User Info... | You're right, Corey Hart isn't new wave, but that was way before my time... - Tue, 25 Nov 2003 10:16pm | ||
| Broccoli User Info... | wasn't he a wrestler? - Wed, 26 Nov 2003 7:37am | ||
| ticklefish User Info... | Madsubwoof: I concurr wholeheartedly on Platinum Blond and Corey Hart, but Men w/o Hats definitely strayed into New Wave (NOT safety dance, but if you have ever heard their album "Freeways") - Wed, 26 Nov 2003 8:27am | ||
| Robnoxious User Info... | I always thought Loverboy was a New Wave band. Also anything by Glass Tiger. - Wed, 26 Nov 2003 1:31pm | ||
