2WO by Strange Advance
2WO is an album by Strange Advance, released in 1985. 1 song from it has charted on rock radio countdowns, with 2 countdown appearances in total. The biggest is “We Run”, on 2 lists with a best position of #174.
2WO, the second album from Vancouver new wave outfit Strange Advance, came out on Capitol in February 1985, and it doubles down on the glossy, synth-streaked sound of their debut, Worlds Away. It gave them two Canadian hit singles, "We Run" and "The Second That I Saw You", and like the first record it went gold in Canada.
"We Run" is the pick, a driving, widescreen track of chiming keyboards and a chorus built for open highways. The band was up for Group of the Year at the 1985 Junos, and The Distance Between came next.
