The Radio Stars - the most unlikely new wavers - somehow managed to capture the essence of the late '70s with an always functioning naughty sense of humour and a keen eye trained on the changing times. Seemingly contrary to the punk ethos to kick out all the boring old farts, the Radio Stars were oldsters who saw the sense in adapting to the fresh attitude of new wave and went with it, not against it. Their full-on approach gained them a measure of respect and from there they went on in their own dotty, lovable way.
