Spring Break frontman Jan Van Couver explained the obsession with his band: "There's no denying our appeal among people born in the Eighties. It is a tough one to explain. Possible explanations are the increased number of digital stations that consider the Eighties as the golden age of movie videos, or maybe the lack of excitement because contemporary pop fails to deliver.
"We are a think-tank dedicated to predicting musical tastes. We're best known for dominating the heavily specialised American Eighties floor-fillers market.
"It's our hard work and eye for detail that got us where we are today; people who come to our sell-out shows see and appreciate the time and money spent on researching theme songs and costumes. They often put hours aside to dress up for the occasion, and this raises our game.
"We feel that, by keeping the fires burning through our live shows, we've paid tribute to the lesser-known heroes of the decade such as Milton Friedman, Christopher Penn, Meredith Baxter, Lee Iacocca and Giorgio Moroder."
