Can someone fill me in on the band - At 1980

[jondavis]

I guess the name of the band is "At 1980"?

Is that right?

Kind of a strange name.

They have a AOR sound to them and I never heard anything till watching a few videos on youtube.

They get mentioned quite a bit on the other music section...

A simple search would've saved you some time.

Maybe a couple songs but I still don't know much about them.

At 1980 are a synthwave due cosisting of Adrian Quesada Michelena from Spain and Josh Dally from England. It started out as a personal project for Adrian who was born in 1980, hence the name. He contacted Josh for a vocal performance on a more or less finished track at the time and then they worked together on another track this time cowriting it and voila At 1980 as a duo was born. The AOR influence you hear comes from the fact Adrian is a big fan of melodic rock.

Nice to hear that AOR had a big influence on someone that grew up past the 80's music scene.

Good writing and the 80's movies someone is putting the songs to really helps bring the songs out.

I went through a bunch of the synthwave songs on  this site, not a genre I ever looked at much.

Sounds like some decent stuff there, might have to pay more attention to it.

Look into Magic Dance and LeBrock too, those are a couple of great projects that blend synthwave and AOR.

First I've heard of these guys.  A bit of a Danny Wilde vibe on vocals for me.  I like it.

Didn’t realise Def Leppard were a synthwave band, ‘cause these guys sound like ‘Hysteria’ era Def Leppard more than anything else I can think of. 😉

I was wondering the other day how many people miss out on good music because it is not under a label they desire. Very sad.

I'll give it a go if it has any temnance of hysteria in it.

But there's so much music. I just don't have the time to try it all out so I rely on comments and feedback when opening a thread like this.
