i had been looking for this sone for year, I would ask every New Wave Afficianodi I knew: Have you ever heard Jumping Out A Window? always no. Ane I never knew the name of the band, but they do remind me of Split Enz, come to think of it. Much appreciation to the one who posted this. I Had no idea an actual video existed, let alone an LP.

Cheers John. This video, long thought lost was rescued by a friend in australia, check out the other pop mechanix videos in the failsafe records channel. We're getting quite a collection. There's actually 8 albums of their music to discover too, possibly more. Check their band camp page and the failsafe records site for more info.

Strange Behavior rules! Love this song. Saw the movie back when it cam out back in the early 80s.

I loved these guys. I was priviledged to meet them personally a couple of times through a beautiful young woman by the name of Karen (still think of her now from time to time) who happened to be not only a freelance for Rip It Up, but a friend of one of the Pauls and his partner. They wrote some great tunes. And Andrew had an exellent voice for the songs.
