The NWONW (New Wave of New Wave) was a term coined by music journalists to describe a subgenre of the British alternative rock scene in the early 1990s, in which bands displayed post-punk and new wave influences, particularly from bands such as The Clash, Blondie, Wire, and The Stranglers.〔Childs, Peter & Storry, Mike (1999) ''Encyclopaedia of Contemporary British Culture'', Routledge, ISBN 978-0-415-14726-2, p. 365.〕 The band generally played guitar-based rock music. The movement was short lived and several of the bands involved were later linked with the more commercially successful Britpop, which it immediately preceded, and the NWONW was described by John Harris of ''The Guardian'' (one of the journalists who first coined the term) as "Britpop without the good bits".〔Harris, John (2006) ("The new wave of old rubbish" ), ''The Guardian'', 13 October 2006.〕 The NME played a major part in promoting and covering the genre, and promoted the ''On'' event, which featured many of the bands they had labelled NWONW.〔Larkin, Colin (2006) ''The Encyclopedia of Popular Music'', Oxford University Press.〕 Record label Fierce Panda's first release, ''Shagging in the Streets'', was a tribute to the scene, featuring S *M *A *S *H, Done Lying Down, These Animal Men, and others. Associated bands have included Elastica,〔 S *M *A *S *H,〔〔 Menswear,〔Wolk, Douglas (1995) "Menswear - Nuisance, London", ''CMJ New Music Monthly'', December 1995.〕 Sleeper, Echobelly, Shed Seven,〔Strong, Martin C.
