Having grown up during the 80s when Oingo Boingo was rocking 91x out of Tijuana, they definitely put in their dues. While a lot of the New Wave bands from the UK might have been heavily produced acts, others like the Specials and the Beat definitely spent a lot of time grinding things out.

New Wave wasn't really my scene at the time. Maybe something between New Kids On The Block and Baltimora... someone you just honestly couldn't picture going to see at The Crystal Pistol.
