Discuss Drive

I love the soundtrack to Drive but I've played my Electric Youth album to death. Can anybody recommend any good 80's nostalgia bands I could give a try?

A couple of bands I'm currently listening to, Vitriolic and Police Academy 6 (yep, that's the name of an actual band - found them by accident on Spotify!) have a real cool 80s vibe also try Pilotpriest but they're a little heavier going with songs lasting upto 20 minutes long... Still cool tho... Edit: I'm assuming you meant modern bands with an 80s vibe? Either way, these are worth a try...!

Thanks, I will certainly give them a go. Well, if you're going to name something it might as well be Police Academy 6.

No worries, also in a similar vein, have you seen Neon Demon? Very cool film in style and the soundtrack is amazing - I think you'd like it, like the band's I mentioned, it's all a little left of center, but very 80s cool inspired...

Yes, I like Neon Demon and yeah the soundtrack is very cool. I love films with retro sountracks. The Guest is a good one. I'm listening to Police Academy 6 now. It's groovy.

Nice one! Glad you're liking it - I've got an odd taste in music, so I was worried it might not be what you are after, but that's great grinning

You could try Buggles, The Police, Queen, Pink Floyd. You could never go wrong with the last two.

No, you certainly can't. But I was looking more for music of today that evokes memories of the 80s rather than music actually from the 80s. But I did just give The Buggles a go anyway because I've never heard them before (other than Video Killed the Radio Star). Good fun!

I might give The Guest a go later after reading up on it... Cheers! grinning
