Today’s Guardian (in the United Kingdom) has an interesting article on the rise of New Romanticism.
I believe the article overstates the impact of Spandau Ballet in a big way. The band has just begun its big reunion tour and a bit of overly nostalgic revisionism is bound to happen. Still, it’s a pretty interesting read.
