Reaganomics

If rock music of the seventies was a statement of excess and overproduction, eighties rock only furthered those excesses. The best example of this musical trend was eighties New Wave, which was essentially modernized seventies Disco. New Wave, however, encompassed a wider range than the dance music that proceeded it. The Fixx and Duran Duran were prime examples of groups that had wide appeal and received substantial airplay on MTV. The mid-west's best 80's band, The Reaganomics, are a group of musicians specializing in eighties rock. Not to be confused with a controversial economic theory, The Reaganomics are dedicated to bringing back the statement and feeling that defined music of that decade.
