Cold Wave

Coldwave, also written as Cold Wave, is a French and Belgian style of rock music, inspired by post-punk band Joy Division and specifically Martin Hannett's production for the group, prominent in the late 1970s and early 1980s. Early French punk rock groups, forerunners to the scene, included Stinky Toys and Métal Urbain.
