I just found this podcast. I like it already. This is a great idea.
This podcast fills a much-needed niche in popular music. The New Wave sound was/is so fantastic, but since its heyday passed, it’s hard to find news and reviews on it. Well, here ya go.

I came across your podcast as you featured Ian McNabb’s superb new album, a long time favourite artist. Then on the next show you had an interview with another great, Jay Aston from Gene Loves Jezebel, really enjoyable, Jay sounds like a top bloke.
Steve and T-bone repeatedly deliver honest and insightful album reviews of legendary bands that shaped an entire generation and still deserve the attention today! I’m hooked and looking forward to more!
As a true first generation New Waver & alternative music lover, I find it so dismissive when a ‘legacy’ band releases something new and it’s ignored. This podcast does a noble service to those releases. Well done!
