đď¸This week on Americaâs Podcast... we answer a question literally no one was asking: what happens when the guy from AFI crashes Gwen Stefaniâs garage band practice? You get Dreamcarâthe most â80s band to be born three decadestoo late.
Is it a glorious throwback or a glitter-covered time machine crash? Are they the future of retro or should they have just left that sound buried next to a broken Walkman? No spoilers (as always), but we dive in like itâs 1985 and weâre wearing parachute pants and Aqua Net.
Weâre joined by the ever-stylish Favio Vegas and synthwave sensei Travis Perrotta to break it down in neon detail.
đ§Â Tracks of the Week:
-
Marc picks "The Gap" by the Thompson Twinsâbecause someone had to bring the eyeliner.
-
Favio goes goth with "Peacefield" by Ghostâspooky AND synthy.
-
Travis keeps it classic with "Come Back" by the J. Geils Bandâbless him, he's the rockinâ realist.
-
And finally, Mooger Fooger grabs his trench coat and shades for "The Chauffeur" by Duran Duran, because someoneâs gotta be mysterious in this episode.
So break out the cassette player, mist yourself in Drakkar Noir, and hop in the DeLoreanâwe're taking you back to the 80s, whether you like it or not.
