Newest Wave

Do you miss the New Wave bands of the ‘80s like the Talking Heads, the Cure, & the Violent Femmes? Me too. Good news, though: this compilation of new alternative rock from up-and-coming artists pays homage to those legends of yesteryear with a modern twist. Think rock with synthesizers and just the right amount of punk sensibilities (although anything goes in this Brit-pioneered genre).

Featuring the latest from Dumb, FEET, FIDLAR, Weird Milk, and Hotel Lux, with some additional bangers from Parquet Courts, Stray Fossa, Demob Happy, Mal de Mer, and more.
