Just show yours or some that you like! I think that 80s music is a vast land for surf covers, synth pop, electro pop, darkwave, new wave, etc. I’ve heard some really good surf covers of New Order, A-Ha, The Cure and other stuff but I want more! This is my first try, no proper mixing and mastering, just raw 80s garage stuff) But I surely need to learn it, so any advice is welcomed.

Have you heard Banned From the Beaches cover of “The Break Up Song (They Don’t Write ‘Em)?” They do an awesome job of it, especially the version where the guy in the audience says “I love this song!”

We played "One Step Beyond" by Madness in our earlier days.
Used a fuzz for the sax part.
Fun song and translated well.

We used to do The Ocean Blue's "Between Something and Nothing".
Seemed to work pretty well

We do a couple, and if I ever get some free time, we'll do a couple more! Here's "our lips are sealed" and "tainted love" (which I realize is a cover of a cover!)
there's some good stuff out there.....

‘80s Pop/Rock strikes me as perfect raw material for Surf treatment.

Here's a version of Elvis Costello's "Girls Talk", though mostly inspired by the Dave Edmunds version
And, if you aren't sick of it, The Clash's "Charlie Don't Surf" (video below my sig)

Kraftwerk songs are great! We didn't do "Das Model" but we did take a stab at "Computer World"
