New Wave's Industrial Complex | Milly Burroughs

From the political scarring of the industrial towns of Northern England, to the infinite and intimidating evolution of technology, the 1970s and 80s saw British New Wave musicians harness post-punk and synth sounds to articulate their takes on society's uncertain futures.

In this one-hour show, we will explore narratives around urban decay, the rise of the machine and radical politics with deep-cuts, classics and stories from bands of the era.
