Hardly ever went to the other music section. Guess I should.

A simple search would've saved you some time.

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.

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.

      I have been a Band Maid fan since their early days (2015) as I really don't mind foreign vocals as long as the music is great, but I always kinda avoided Babymetal as I saw a video of them once and really wasn't impressed with the kiddy vocals, so never gave them another chance. Fast forward to now and on the back of the collab with Electric Callboy I have decided to give them a go. I thought they had a huge discography as they have like 25 albums, but on closer inspection it is only four studio albums and 21 live albums. As I am not a fan of live albums anyway, I decided to buy the four studio albums as they are all quite cheap. Have to say there music is a mixed bag, but overall really enjoying a lot of it. Not sure if I just picked the wrong song to start with, or if it is just that I have adapted more due to getting into a lot of weird and wonderful foreign bands over the last few years, but I am glad I finally gave them a proper go. Have to say, if this song was sung in English I think they would have a lot of fans on here
