The Incredibly Wacky World of New Wave
I've seen a couple of new wave icebergs on places (mainly reddit), but I wanted to put my hat into the ring as well! So, boom hi hello here is my new wave iceberg. Proposals welcome
Level 1: CBGB
The most well known bands in their space, whether it be earned from a well received album or a continuous cultural presence.
Level 2: Max's Kansas City
You've definitely heard of these people in one way or another. Whether it be on the radio, in other media, or just them being mentioned in general music discussions.
