“For most of the ’90s, the now defunct New Waver were one of the strangest and most entertaining bands in Melbourne – two unassuming public-servant types lurking behind cheesy synthesisers, with a singer who began most gigs naked, putting on an item of clothing after each song in a deadpan inversion of rock’n’roll behaviour. The music consisted of dinky covers of Top 40 hits with the lyrics changed to address the life of the office loser. Thus AC/DC’s Jailbreak becomes Tea Break, a tale of workplace bullying around the water cooler, while the Rolling Stones’ Start It Up becomes an ode to the socially stunted computer geek. This CD compiles the pick of New Waver’s hilarious work. Key Track: Chadstone – in this remake of June Carter and Johnny Cash’s Jackson, a suburban couple use their favourite shopping centre as a sex-life replacement.” – Guy Blackman
