Since you have A Flock of Seagulls on your music page, I assume you are familiar with their music. Can you give me some advice on bands that sound like/were influenced by them? I've listened to a bunch of New Wave bands over time, but they all sound quite different. The only band I can think of is a Basque band Delirium Tremens (perfect example: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8UvSvhVGZpA)
Oh man, I'm kinda terrible at comparing bands to one another. I know that signature 'A Flock of Seagulls sound' you're talking about, but now that I think about it I can't really say which other bands out there share it.
Something about their songs reminds me of the first few albums made by The Cure and soundtracks to films made by John Hughes. Maybe a few songs by Oingo Boingo have that similar feel... I'm not that familiar with New Order, but their song "Age of Consent" also comes to mind, although I don't know it that's really that similar. Sorry I couldn't offer much help.
Thank you for adding the description for my website! I'm not as familiar with Oingo Boingo but they definitely have some great songs. "No One Lives Forever" and "Dead Man's Party" come to mind.

I'll check out Oingo Boingo and John Hughes movies, thanks!

You're welcome!
@saint-images: I have a few suggestions: "Just Another Day" and "Stay" by Oingo Boingo. Are they anything like the sound you're looking for?
"Just Another Day" is rather close! Both songs went straight into my playlist.
saint-images: try Thompson Twins' first four albums.
