Haircut 100 is back — and somehow they've managed to sound both timeless and completely refreshed. Steve sits down with Nick Heyward to talk about Boxing the Compass, the band's first album featuring the original lineup in 44 years. They discuss songwriting, rediscovering old chemistry, the upcoming U.S. tour with Adam Ant and Squeeze, and Nick's return to The 80s Cruise in 2027. Plus, Steve and Brad share their review of the new album and why this reunion feels different from so many others.

Host Steve Spears invites you to dust off your mixtapes and rewind the VHS tapes for Stuck in the '80s Podcast. This isn't just a surface-level glance at neon and hairspray; it's a deep, affectionate dive into the movies, television, music, and pop culture moments that defined an entire generation. Each episode feels like a conversation with friends, unpacking why these artifacts from the decade still resonate so powerfully today. You'll find yourself nodding along, laughing, and maybe even cringing a little as specific memories are triggered-the synth line of a forgotten new wave hit, the quotable dialogue from a cult classic film, or the bizarre fashion trend everyone somehow agreed was cool. The podcast thrives on that specific, MTV-fueled nostalgia, examining not just what we loved, but why it all mattered. It’s less about cold analysis and more about shared experience, capturing the humor, heart, and sheer fun of the era. So whether you lived through it or just appreciate its enduring influence, this show offers a consistently engaging and warmly nostalgic listen. Steve’s guided tours through this defining period are both a celebration and a heartfelt reminiscence, proving that some cultural moments are simply too rad to stay in the past.
