Pop Mechanix were a kiwi post-punk band from 1979 through to 1988. Although, upon their move to Australia, they were slapped with a lawsuit over the use of their name by Aussie band 'Popular Mechanics.' They lost and subsequently changed their name to 'NZ Pop' and 'Zoo' shortly after that. They had a couple of hits "Now" and "Jumping out a Window". The latter was their biggest hit and was produced by Split Enz's Eddie Raynor. "Jumping out a Window" is a new wave classic with an explosive chorus. It may sound very much like it's 1981 but, at the same time, it's timeless.
