Here is some new wave/post-punk fun from Rochester, New York. Personal Effects make great use of organ, sax, and beautiful female vocals, basically ready for your ears. It's very romantic and haunting at points, and enjoyable all the way through. Male vocals on "What's the Attraction," my favorite track on this LP, work perfectly. An amazing cover of "End of the World," organ backing and as dark as it should be. In short, download and enjoy.
Support the band and order their collection CD via their website. There are videos of them playing, as well as their pre-Personal Effects band, The High Techs, on the site.

Penguins - California Lifestyle and Plastic Cure (1981)
Now we have some Bay Area new wave/synth punk. Don't let the saxophones on the cover fool you--this one is a lot of fun, especially the song "Plastic Cure" on the B-side. I don't have much information on this band except it was put out on Donkey Records in 1981. Any more info would be greatly appreciated.
Enjoy,
