Wax
Wax was a new wave duo based in Manchester, England, consisting of American singer-songwriter Andrew Gold and 10cc guitarist/bassist Graham Gouldman. The band was active primarily between 1983 and 1990, with a brief reunion from 1997 to 2000. They are best known for their European hit singles "Bridge to Your Heart" and "Right Between the Eyes". In the United States, they were listed as Wax UK, while later releases were additionally credited as Andrew Gold & Graham Gouldman.

The collaboration between Gold and Gouldman began after 10cc's split in 1983. Gouldman invited Gold to his home in England, where they spent seven months writing songs. Initially, they released music under the names World in Action and Common Knowledge before settling on the name Wax. They signed with RCA Records and released three studio albums between 1986 and 1989.

Their most successful single, "Bridge to Your Heart," became a hit in Europe, supported by performances on shows like the UK's Top of the Pops and Germany's Peter's Pop Show. Despite their initial success, their third album, "A Hundred Thousand in Fresh Notes," did not achieve the same level of popularity. Both Gold and Gouldman continued with other musical ventures after Wax's initial run, but they occasionally collaborated on each other's solo projects.
