It’s An 80s Thing #152 – Too & To

After providing data for hundreds of Soundwaves 10@10 episodes, Intern Steve steps into the spotlight with a deep dive into All Things 80s. Almost every episode will be two parts … each half a distinctly different subject from its counterpart … seemingly unrelated pop culture and music topics that (more often than not) will have a connection!

Today we’re going to hear from a British Pop band who got a little help from Nick Rhodes. We’re going to hear from another band who got caught in the cross hairs of Tipper Gore and the PMRC and we’re going to hear from a band who bucked the trend by intentionally not releasing videos for their new album. You’ll hear all of that and more in this edition of IA8T.
