New Wave Punk Shorts
Description: In 1849, French writer Jean-Baptiste Alphonse Karr wrote “plus ça change, plus c’est la même chose,“ which translates to "the more things change, the more they stay the same." Greek pre-Socratic philosopher Heraclitus once said, “the only constant in life is change.” And in 1981, the Talking Heads said, "same as it ever was." If you think about it, they're all right, and really just saying the same thing, as things are always changing, but still staying the same, as change is constant. Or something.

Description: English band X-Ray Spex was one of the first punk bands not only fronted by a woman, but by a biracial woman, whose stage name was Poly Styrene. With Styrene leading the group, X-Ray Spex brought a different, more expansive, and inclusive, Punk message and sound to the masses. X-Ray Spex’s music was not the fast, aggressive punk that many of their counterparts in the scene were creating. Rather, the band offered a more snarky, socially aware sound that was upbeat and contained pop stylings that connected with new wave music. Germfree Adolescents is the band's 1978 debut album that contained the UK hit singles "The Day the World Turned Dayglo" (No. 23), "Identity" (No. 24), and "Germ Free Adolescents" which reached No. 18 in November 1978.
Description: A platinum-haired rebel caught between downtown punk grit and electric new wave glamour. Static Heart channels the restless energy of late-70s New York through distressed ink, sharp attitude, and underground poster aesthetics. A tribute to the era when rock met the dance floor and style refused to follow the rules.
