Tuesday, May 02, 2006 - Battle of the Bands Radio: 80s Revival

Today's Battle of the Bands Radio update brings together two of my favourite 80s revival bands. Chances are you've heard of The Killers, who kicked the genre into high-gear with hits like "Mr. Brightside", "Somebody Told Me" and "All These Things That I've Done". The track I bring you from them is "Jenny Was A Friend Of Mine".

The challenger is one of my favourite bands of the moment, The Sounds. A couple of weeks ago I found out they'd released their second album and I managed to track down a copy. Just like their first, it's incessantly catchy and the track I'm playing here, "Queen of Apology" has a nice punky edge to it.
