The newest and last season of "Stranger Things" is coming out this week, and I'm both bouncing off the walls with excitement and crying as this show has meant a lot to me since it first aired :(
To celebrate, I'm bringing you some of the best new wave and dark wave tracks that should've been on the show and will make you feel like you're in Hawkins, IN about to fight inter-dimensional beings while uncovering government conspiracies. We'll also be highlighting some Canadian bands within the genre and play some songs that were released by cast members!

i remember watching the very first episode of Stranger Things and the moment that theme music kicked in.....I was hooked. That music became an endless ear worm for me; haunting but irresistable ! Great show tribute, Audrey
