Subject: New(er) bands that sound like classic 80's

Written By: oingo_fan on 09/13/11 at 8:07 pm

Looking for music released in the last 5 years or so that could be mistaken for being released around '85.  Here's one, kinda sounds like a band I like...cough...Cure...cough...

^ I quite liked that one.

The cloest to that 80s sound I would say is the Montreal based duo Chromeo.  It's like a return to that early 80s new wave!

The latest Chromeo hit single .. 'When the Night Falls'

I thought the first CD from the Killers was 80s ish, and also the Limousines sounds like that time period. Just my opinion....

I agree these definitely have an 80's vibe to them.
