barneyg42 Posted March 13, 2016 Share Posted March 13, 2016 [quote name='colgraff' timestamp='1457870680' post='3002474'] I think I'll have to start an 80s cover band. There is at least one set's worth of excellent songs here already. [/quote] Band name??? The One Hit Wonders!! I'll only take 10% for thinking that one up for you!

DarkHeart Posted March 13, 2016 Share Posted March 13, 2016 Angel Witch by Angel Witch great song which also made them the least successful chart act ever, number 75 for 1 week only! First live band I ever saw as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zenitram Posted March 13, 2016 Share Posted March 13, 2016 More of a proto-postmodern re-interpretation than a cover, actually, now I think about it, but all the better for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
