Burning The Ground Exclusive 1985

“Shockwave” is a 1985 single by British musician David Knopfler taken from his second solo album “Behind The Lines” after leaving Dire Straits.

He was born in Scotland, but raised in Blyth, near Newcastle upon Tyne, England. Together with his older brother Mark Knopfler, John Illsley, and Pick Withers, he founded the rock band Dire Straits in 1977, serving as rhythm guitarist on their first two albums. After quitting the band in 1980 during the recording of their third album, Knopfler embarked upon a solo career as a recording artist.
