Deep Dives and Deep Cuts: the History of Punk, Post-punk and New Wave (1976-1986)
MusicHistory
For many Americans, OMD's repertoire begins and ends with "If You Leave." But the band's impact on the Eastern Hemisphere began years before the release of the Pretty in Pink soundtrack, with a string of catchy, unique, unlikely hits topping the charts in many European countries during the first half of the decade. T&J are joined by Patrick, co-host of the podcast Known Pleasures, to discuss OMD's rich legacy as new wave synth-pop pioneers.

Join Rob and Joseph as they chronologically discuss all the notable albums of the punk/new wave movement. From the messy, anarchic noise of the early 70’s proto-punk rockers to the tired, polished death-rattles of the mid-80’s corporate synth-poppers, no stone goes unturned in their quest to fully examine the birth, life and death of “the wave” that produced some of the most beloved songs in modern popular music.
