On today’s show I debuted HETTIE’s new song, a cover of Jane Wiedlin’s (from the Go-Gos)80s smash hit, “Rush Hour”. Hettie’s favourite artist is Sky Ferreira, and surprisingly Rush Hour sounds like it has come straight from Sky’s debut album. In case you hadn’t noticed, EVERYONE is trying to recapture that 80s sound. I don’t know if it’s just because to was a simpler time back then, when we could appreciate music because we didn’t have all the distractions we do now, or if its just because there music was “better” than it is in the 21st century, but it’s definitely happening. Every new band, touted as the next big thing, more often the not has an 80s-tinge to their sound, whether it be synths, or reverie drums, or just jangly guitars… 2013-14 will forevermore be known as the years the 80s came back to stay. 90% of the bands I played today fall into that category…
