NEW WAVE  •  VINYL RECORDS

With close connections to Punk Rock, New Wave was a genre of music originating out of the 1980's. New wave as apposed to Punk exhibits more complexity and musical intellect, both musically and lyrically. Many New Wave bands like The Talking Heads and Blondie began experimenting with drum machines and synthesizers. New Wave was visually "artsy", and coincided with the MTV generation, thus being recognised as the definitive genre from the 1980's.
