The Retrowave movement is now upon us! These up and coming bands are heavily influenced by the groundbreaking, New Wave and Punk sounds of the late 70's and early 80's. There are stripped-down, three chord, garage guitar riffs, disaffected vocals and plenty of old school synthesizers.

The spirit of The Cars, The Smiths, Queen, Ramones, Sex Pistols, Tom Petty, The Cure, Buzzcocks, Bad Religion, Cheap Trick, The Jam, The Cult, AC/DC, Joan Jett and The Runaways, New Order, Missing Persons, Sparks, Joy Division and others can be heard loud and clear, in the songs from these NEW artists:
