Anytime you talk about the history of New Wave it should be mandatory that you also have to talk about the first album from The Cars which was released on June 6, 1978. Some will even go back further and bring up names like The Velvet Underground, The Modern Lovers, and The New York Dolls. Bands like Talking Heads, Television and Blondie will always be mentioned, and rightfully so. When music historians and writers talk about the history of New Wave, the mid-seventies scene at CBGB’s night club in New York will always come up.
