80s Zone

80s Zone play the 1980s the way it actually sounded, which means pop and rock sitting next to new wave and synth-driven tracks rather than a straight greatest-hits run. Vintage synthesizers, soaring guitar solos and choruses written to be shouted back. The repertoire reaches past the obvious chart-toppers into the cult classics, which is usually the bit that gets the biggest reaction from anyone who was buying records at the time. These are musicians who genuinely love the decade, and it comes through in how tightly the material is played. Melbourne based, and best booked for a room that wants to dance rather than sit and listen.
