In the 1980's, Canada produced many great New Wave bands like Images in Vogue and Men Without Hats but for me the band that has really come symbolize this era is Platinum Blonde. The band founded in 1982, consisted of Mark Holmes (vocals/bass and attitude), Sergio Galli (guitar), and Chris Steffler (drums). Later Kenny Maclean (keyboards) joined the band. They had big hair, makeup, clothes that you couldn't find at your local Thrifty's, and screaming fans. For more information on the band, check out this very in-depth fansite
The band had a number of big hits in Canada including; "Standing In the Dark","Crying Over You", and this hit "Doesn't Really Matter"
