First thought: I really need to watch a John Hughes movie while listening to this track. This is a classic 80’s New Wave style song very much in the same vein as The Breakfast Club and Simple Minds. That makes it really kinda fun for me. I keep getting these vocal flashbacks of Simon Lebon from Duran Duran. I feel like I should get up and do the white girl dance. There is a really good guitar solo in the middle of the song that is worth a listen. The vocals are in a higher register and are clean and round. There are some awesome sound effects in the song as well.

Would I Listen to More of Their Stuff: I can’t lie, I have all of the above bands on my server. I do still listen to them from time to time as well so this would fit in nicely.
Who They Are: The ‘AK Band’ was formed in the 80’s by ‘Johnny AK’ Guitar, with ‘Nev’ on Vocals & Bass and ‘Maz’ on Drums.
