## Resource

In 1986, two future legends joined forces with some kids from the neighborhood. In all seriousness, it's really cool to be able to look back onto a band like this where they are about to blow up, but with other acts. Join Nik and Duncan in seeing if we should spin it or bin it. Duncan has also dropped his latest single. Check it out here: https://open.spotify.com/track/5L3OcpXzmJkwk2TC8NvZl0
