Exiles – confirmed for Hard Working Class Heroes
What you may need to know.
01. Hop into your red Ferrari with your girl, and cruise into an unending neon night with Exiles‘ super-polished synth-pop reverie.
02. Hailing from Carlow/Kilkenny, the trio takes direct influence from the full spectrum of eighties pop culture, from Hall & Oates, to the Lethal Weapon II soundtrack.
03. Streaming above is the outfit’s debut single, Red Lights, available now, and the leadoff track for their debut E.P. of the same name.
04. Appearing live at Hard Working Class Heroes fest, October 6-8, in Dublin. For more info, go here.
Verdict: Pristine pop from the South-East, via LA in the ’80s. Grin-inducing stuff.

Eh Kavinsky knock off artwork, Lazerhawk knock off song title and MGMT knock off riff……….. Not good.
Beat me to it. I’d say Kavinsky is onto his 80’s lawyers
Kinda think even the lads behind Kung Fury might be picking up the phone
2009 is calling it wants its aesthetic back….. Le Galaxie are bad enough for ripping off synthwave artists we don’t need another Irish copy and paste job……
Quite like Kavinsky, haven’t ;istened in a long time. My journey home just got soundtracked.
Check out Miami Nights 1984 for your drive home :) https://youtu.be/snRbau9fQ74

I think Le Galaxie are quite good. No one artist owns the genre…
Le Galaxie ….lol…
in vogue, then out…then what….oblivion
Love it. Was walking home after a gig last night and it just hit the spot. Looking forward to more. Best thing I jave heard in a long time.
Gunship are the best of the 80s/GTA Vice City synth internet revival outfits IMHO. “Tech Noir” is pretty representative (good vid too): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-nC5TBv3sfU
Also love these guys
Another thing from Lee Hardcastle:

Ha! A cracker.
Definitely worshipped at the altar of Peter Jackson’s early work…
