Will America swallow the new wave?


Harry Doherty

Harry Doherty reports from London and New York

Extracts:

To close out their recent American tour, the Jam called a press conference in the suave Americana Hotel, off Times Square, in New York. The band's two-night, four-show residency at CBGB's, the celebrated punk grotto, had been hailed as the media event of the month, and the turnout at the conference reflected the interest aroused in British new wave.

...

Elvis Costello has aroused the most interest of all British new wavers. His album, My Aim Is True, has got the most FM play of any import album in history. The album is released in America by Columbia (CBS to you) this week and Costello and his band, the Attractions, jet out to promote it with a four-week tour.
