In 1983, Platinum Blonde's first LP, Standing In The Dark, hit the Canadian charts. The second single released was the title track, with accompanying Cold War/nuclear armageddon video getting heavy airplay across the country. With it's driving bassline and great vocals by Mark Holmes, the song cemented the Blondes as an important new fixture on the Canadian New Wave scene. "Standing In The Dark" is #118 on my Top 200.
