80s New Wave Music
In the early 1980s thousands of UK bands hoped to make it like Duran Duran
The second British invasion helped to power the new wave music explosion in the U.S. as many bands and artists were picked up by MTV and recording companies.
The list of eighties bands from the UK includes many thousands of lesser known 80sUK bands.
It was a great opportunity for bands and artists from the UK to do something different.
While inspired by a fusion of punk and synthesizers, the new wave music of the 80s was a musical genre or style all its own.
