Yellow Brit Road, 20 June 2021: Anthems and Icons: the 1980s

This week on the Yellow Brit Road, anthems, icons, history and great music! We're continuing our exploration into queer music history, and this week, we're talking about the 1980s! Lots of chat about pop, rock, New Romantic bands, and of course, great new music as always. We had music from Diana Ross (Nile Rodgers interview here) Culture Club Visage Queen The Smiths Australian feminist queer punk band Stray Dags (find the only other song of theirs I could find here) Pet Shop Boys London queer alt rock band Bitch Hunt Punk with an incredibly catchy edge from IDestroy Nottingham industrial punks Self-Love London based soul musician George Riley Oakland punk band Middle-Aged Queers Find this week's playlist here (try and support artists directly if you can!)
