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".

We hope you enjoy our first podcast. Do get in touch:
