Transmission

With bands like the Buzzcocks, Magazine, Echo and the Bunnymen and more all re-touring for the first time in years, there is obviously room to re-visit one of the most fecund times in British (and not only) music: the cultural imagery is certainly back in society. Maybe it's recession? Maybe it's that all the other '80s revivals have simply scratched the surface?
No doubt this is a good time to go back to post-punk, new wave and every experiment we can get our hands on in that scene. Let's replay a decade of decadence and deca-dance: DIY labels, art rock, post-industrial malcontent and dubious hairstyles.
