Episode 522-Dreamcar-Dreamcar

🎙️This week on America’s Podcast... we answer a question literally no one was asking: what happens when the guy from AFI crashes Gwen Stefani’s garage band practice? You get Dreamcar—the most ‘80s 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 it’s 1985 and we’re wearing parachute pants and Aqua Net.

We’re joined by the ever-stylish Favio Vegas and synthwave sensei Travis Perrotta to break it down in neon detail.

🎧 Tracks of the Week:

• Marc picks "The Gap" by the Thompson Twins—because someone had to bring the eyeliner.

• Favio goes goth with "Peacefield" by Ghost—spooky AND synthy.

• Travis keeps it classic with "Come Back" by the J. Geils Band—bless him, he's the rockin’ realist.

• And finally, Mooger Fooger grabs his trench coat and shades for "The Chauffeur" by Duran Duran, because someone’s gotta be mysterious in this episode.

So break out the cassette player, mist yourself in Drakkar Noir, and hop in the DeLorean—we're taking you back to the 80s, whether you like it or not.
