Artist description Hailing from the northwest U.S. is the hard rock band 1984! 1984 refuses to fall into the cracks of Rock, Pop, Metal, Retro, or whatever the flavor of the month is. That is why they simply choose to call themselves "America's Last Rock & Roll Band".

Artist History In 1999, the band was formed as an 80's cover band, and proceeded on an exuasting summer schedule including clubs, private events, fundraisers, and even opening for 70's and 80's superstar Eddie Money. Seeing the immense response to thier show, 1984 decided to start writing. After playing the new songs for a few months in the clubs they soon became the most requested part of the show, prompting the recording of "Casual Hello".

Press Reviews This American band is called 1984 and musically they also sound a bit like 1984, but with an updated sound. 1984 is a cool melodic hardrock band that sounds like a mix between FIREHOUSE, VAN HALEN, SKID ROW and HEAVENS EDGE. My favourite songs are opener "Take me home" (cool 80s typed uptempo melodic rocker a la AUTOGRAPH & HEAVENS EDGE), "Rainin' in Memphis" (good semi melodic rockballad a la FIREHOUSE), "My eyes" (melodic rockballad) and closing track "American dream" (another ballad). This is a nice band to check out if you like any of the mentioned melodic hardrockbands.
