Bang! 101 Songs about Nuclear War from the 1980s
Dave Malbon and Pank Pathak
A podcast delving into 101 amazing songs from the 1980s that dealt with the threats posed by nuclear war.
You'll hear us discuss the biggest hits of the decade (did you even know they were about nuclear war?), songs that you might have forgotten and that need to be heard again, and songs that you may never heard.
Every fortnight, Dave and Pank will be exploring some of the best known hits from around the world, to lesser-known deeper cuts. Every genre of 80s music gets a look-in: punk, new wave, funk, soul, rock, heavy rock, indie, reggae, disco.
We will be discussing the songs from a musical and cultural perspective. What else was happening in the world of television and literature to help paint this nuclear landscape?
With every podcast, we will update our Spotify playlist with the songs we are going to discuss. Have a listen to the tunes, and then the chat, or the chat.

Welcome to Episode 1 of Bang! 101 Songs about Nuclear War from the 1980s.
In our first episode, "Welcome to the Red Skies...", we discuss the perennial classic, "Enola Gay" by OMD; Hot Chocolate's lesser known but super-cool "Mindless Boogie"; two wonderful songs that should have been much bigger hits in the UK - "Red Skies" by The Fixx and "Forever Young" by Alphaville; and Ultravox's darkly anthemic "Dancing with Tears in Our Eyes". Dave tell us why he made the list in the first place and Pank recalls, with fondness, "Not the 9 O'Clock News".
