Bad Wave are taking #tbt to a whole new level. Giving us some ’50s vibes, the LA duo blend synth-pop and indie-rock to create the hypnotising track “1955”. As the guys say of the song, “A lot of things happened in 1955. Elvis made his first television appearance. Rosa Parks refused to give up her bus seat. Steve Jobs was born and Albert Einstein died. Some people wish we could go back to 1955. A nostalgia for a simpler time. But we’re more excited about what’s ahead. We’ve got nostalgia for the future.” And thus the futuristic throwback track that we can’t stop playing on repeat was born…
