I needed to scream it 'cause it's my dream coming true. I was raised by british punk/rock, it still is my favorite genre and now, fuck, I'm seeing Louis embrace the rock/pop so beautifully. This album will save me from all my problems. Thank you, Tommo.
"I had a blast working with @philippaulkelly on this project! Philip really came into his own as an artist during the "Rockquiem For A Wrestler" project. I had the opportunity to perform in the show, and he blew me away with his version of my song. He brought out something different in "Savior," and I think it is reflected in the new video we made." - Eddie Star
GOTTEM- Here's some Ivy shenanigans, and another mashup of my AUs. I can picture them lovingly teasing her, and Ivy finds it fun. Since they are older here I gave them updated outfits :) I think its fun exploring their family dynamic so there may be more!

the gross mischaracterisation of Steve Harrington's music taste is an unbearable crime goddamnit, this man has never even heard a pop song in his life! All the music he plays is either rock, new wave or indie music, we see this at his party and so the music playing in his car (which you can find lists of on what-song and similar sites).
someone on reddit noticed Steve is also wearing an outfit identical to one Freddie Mercury wore the same year season 4 is set. In fact, Steve regularly dresses similarly to Freddie Mercury, the more I look the more I see there's definitely influences of Freddie's casual fashion (not his show looks) in Steve's style; some of them, like the yellow jumper look the redditor noticed, are almost like for like. Why is this unusual? Maybe because Queen had tanked in America at the time, America's radio stations found them insulting in fact, so it's a big deal that Steve had Queen playing in his car, it means it wasn't on the radio by chance... he owned a copy himself
I'll have to rewatch but I'm pretty sure the only times Steve has mainstream 80s disco, dance or synth pop anywhere near him it's either someone else's party he's a guest at, and therefore has no say in the music, or he's referencing it to make fun of it (ie Tammy Thompson, and even then it was still pop rock).
Steve is a rock, by the looks of it mostly British bands too, I wouldn't be surprised if he knows The Clash just as well as Jonathan does and it's time people realize that and respect it
(edit: my dumbass misread post-punk as punk, feel free to throw rocks)
Stop making his Vecna songs disco, synth pop music and make it something he's actually shown to listen to
if you picked one of the options lemme know in the tags how you heard about them (or if you have a totally different canadian band you know and want to rant about!)
