First Wave:80\'s New Wave/ O.D.O.R.

The music that spawned the generations of darkness and creativity born in the late 70\'s then forged it's niche in the tomes of 80's music history. This is where we share the memories of some of the songs that gave birth to modern alternative music. All we remember and still celebrate today, both fun, somber or conteplative resides here.
