Thanks.

The voice reminds me of Wang Chung.

I definitely don't think it's Wang Chung. I can't specifically place it (tho it sounds familiar), but I thought it might be an American band like Wire Train or Red Rockers.

modern english?

Ira might be on to something there. Or maybe it's just some Modern English wannabe.

For anyone interested this tough id has finally been solved.
