Welcome to the Boomtown Episode 5 (For Those About To Rock...)

Welcome to the Boomtown

Welcome back to the 80s! It's time to turn the volume up to 11 and ROCK! Let's get back to basics with some killer guitar riffs, pulsating bass lines and thumping drums (OK, and maybe the occasional keyboard). Whether you're a black shirt, blue jeans wearing headbanger, shed a tear during power ballads or just like throwing up the Sign of the Horns, there's something here for you. Rock on!
A shout out to those of you who have been with us since the beginning and welcome to our new listeners. As always, thanks to the people who helped us put this together: Alan (for all our artwork), DJ Phil B (for the technical stuff) and to David Baerwald and David Ricketts, also known as David + David, for their amazing album which inspired the title of our podcast.
Please tell all your friends about us and follow this page so you know when new podcasts are available. And starting with this episode we'll be on a regular release schedule of 80s goodness every other month. You can also follow us on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter.
