That 80's Show with Trevor Chambers

This episode is all about Canadian music from the 80’s. Host Trev Chambers sifted through the biggest, most popular, best and even cheesiest songs in order to present to you a cohesive playlist that stands as a snapshot of what Canada sounded like for a decade. It was the '80s, so of course there's metal, but there are also timeless rock anthems. There are cheesy synths, sure, but there was also a daring new wave scene happening across the country. And at a time when a lot of major artists around the world we're creating some pretty questionable content, Canadian superstars were shining brighter than ever.

Host Trev Chambers explores the Dark Wave/Goth Rock genre. Founded in the late '70s early 80's, “Dark Wave” has been used to describe the gloomy and melancholy sounds of new wave and post-punk music. Dark Wave compositions are largely based on minor key tonality and introspective lyrics, and have been perceived as being dark, romantic, and bleak, with an undertone of sorrow.

This episode is all about the year 1983. The year host Trev Chambers thinks is the best year from the '80s when it came to music. It was also the year that McDonald’s introduced the Chicken McNugget, CDs went on sale, the first cell phone call, and the Internet as it’s known today came into existence. You'll hear from artists such as Bonnie Taylor, Kajagoogoo, Lindsey Buckingham, Eurythmics, Culture Club and much more!
