A few fresh international neo-new-wave tunes today. We start off with Sweet Reaper from Ventura, CA, then hear Hot Face and Dry Cleaning from UK, Golden Hours and DBR in Germany, American Lips from Montreal, Belgrado from Poland/Spain. The colors of the US flag are defended by Lifequard from Chicago. We also check out a new project for Justin Warfield and we close things off with Sclupture Club who I kept thinking were from Salt Lake City, but now I see they’re from Dallas TX. They may have relocated? Maybe it’s just my sleepy brain. Who knows. A slightly altered version of this show will air on Saturday as a part of the renewed XCSB.
