Barry first found music when he borrowed his sister's record collection when he was about eight and was hooked. When Caroline started it was a new beginning, and he listened to all the stations, but Caroline was his favourite by far. Later he became a singer in a band, then started doing discos when he was 18. He joined Caroline in 1977, touring the country with the Caroline Roadshow for 10 years, having great fun. Barry helped with tender trips and worked on the Ross Revenge in '84 and '85. ...

What makes New Wave tick? Find out as special guest Steve from The New Wave Music Podcast joins us for a deep dive into the colorful, cult-worthy world of Oingo Boingo’s Dead Man’s Party. We tackle what defines the genre, break down standout tracks, and explore the influence of theatrical rock, synths, and Halloween vibes!
Guest Spotlight: Steve from The New Wave Music Podcast
Steve’s podcast is your go-to for core new wave artist interviews, reviews, and news.
What is New Wave?
Emerging in the late ‘70s, New Wave evolved punk’s spirit but added pop hooks, danceable rhythms, synths, and quirky visuals. It ranges from guitar-driven acts (The Cars, Blondie) to synth specialists (Depeche Mode, Tears for Fears), known for fashion, irony, and experimentation that defined the sound and style of the ‘80s.
Album: Oingo Boingo – Dead Man’s Party (1985)
Oingo Boingo, led by Danny Elfman, transformed from theatrical troupe to horn-driven new wave band. Their fifth album, Dead Man’s Party, blends eccentric energy with dark humor and Halloween iconography. Released in October 1985, it includes hits “Weird Science” (John Hughes’ film) and the enduring title track, now a Halloween staple.
Diggin’
- Joe Jackson – Look Sharp! (1979): British new wave/punk/reggae blend, witty lyrics, iconic LP cover.
- OMD – Crush (40th Anniversary Deluxe Reissue, 2025): UK synth-pop classics, deluxe remaster, unreleased mixes.
- Julian Shah Tayler – Elysium (2022): Concept album blending new wave, post-punk, and modern electro, featuring David J from Bauhaus/Love and Rockets.
