What do we all think of this mostly 70s and 80s New Zealand new wave/pop-rock/rock band, whose lead Neil Finn later went on to form Crowded House?

Cheers. I'm quite a fan. "History Never Repeats", "I Got You", "Six Months in a Leaky Boat", "Message to my Girl" etc and have some of their albums too.

Highly recommended. And yes I believe their last name means "Ends" so its like "Split Ends" - interesting how way before the likes of rap music, band names were written in missing letters to add to style lol. :)

"The Coral Sea" is also a great one, superb instrumental dance-y closer to "True Colours" (1980) album - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8-jVOHQLRF0

Good songs. Also Squeeze.

I’m a big fan of the Finn family’s work, from Split Enz to Crowded House to Tim and Neil’s collaborations and their solo work. The next gen of Finns are promising too, Tim’s son Harper Finn has produced some excellent music already.
