Bon Marché - So This is Love
1979


This is the only release from Christchurch band Bon Marché. So This Is Love was a previously unreleased mid-1970s Split Enz demo from their days in England. It was written by Phil Judd. Shortly after the release of this single Bon Marché changed their name to the more new wave sounding The Newz. The Newz released two singles and an album in 1980 before moving to Australia.

This Way Out - The Grind
1983



This is the only release from This Way Out. It features Sonya Waters from The Instigators and Penknife Glides drummer Stefan Morris. The sleeve credits the artist as This Way Out while the label credits David Morel. And that is all I know about them.
