Join DJ Paulie and Lou, The Back in Time Brothers as they dive deep into the revolutionary world of 1980s UK indie music. This episode features DJ Brit's expertly curated top-ten countdown, celebrating the bands that defined a generation with their independent spirit and authentic sound—from The Cure's genre-defying evolution to The Smiths' jangly perfection, Joy Division's haunting post-punk, and the dream pop pioneers Cocteau Twins.

Plus, contributor Todd Snyder delivers a fascinating "Rock Talk" segment exploring the most controversial and banned album covers in rock history, from The Beatles' infamous "butcher cover" to Nirvana's Nevermind baby. Discover how censorship battles often made these albums legendary.

Throughout the show, enjoy the signature segments: "Busted" featuring hilariously inept criminals (including a bank robber who left his wallet behind), "Random Facts" with surprising trivia about the human body, and "Crazy Classifieds" with absurd fictional ads.

Whether you're a die-hard indie fan or discovering these influential bands for the first time, this episode celebrates the DIY ethos, chaotic clubs, and John Peel sessions that shaped modern alternative music. Join The Back in Time Brothers for a journey through the sound that changed everything.
