Riding the New Wave
September 30, 2026 · 2:57:56
This month we're diving into the colorful, synth-soaked world of New Wave, exploring the movement that blurred the lines between punk, pop, art rock, and electronic music. We discuss the bands that defined the era, how we each discovered them, and why its influence can still be heard across rock and pop today. Jay follows up on last episode's Joe Jackson discussion, and we wrap things up by talking about some of the shows we've been to lately. Join us for another trip up the Stairway to Eleven.
