That would be 80's bands swap... Hee Hee my type of music... I love the cure... Use to collect everything on them till they got to popular and just can't afford to collect it... Now I want to sell it.

More of my favourite bands :) I'm joining as soon as I can.

The aim is more towards 'synth-pop' and less 'just 1980s' right? I want to make sure because even though I love 80s music I'm really hoping to share music with the 'synth-pop'/'post-punk' feel. :) Thank you for any clearing up you can lend! :)

Of course this is not an an 80s bands swap... Post-punk was actually a popular musical movement with its roots in the mid to late 1970s... This is from the all music guide: Post punk is a more adventurous and arty form of punk, no less angry or political but often more musically complex and diverse. Many of these groups  like Joy Division or the Cure  created dark, synthesizer-oriented soundscapes while others like Orange Juice or XTC  had a lighter guitar-based musical approach but their lyrics and music were off-kilter and often subverted traditional pop/rock song structures. Post-punk eventually developed into alternative pop/rock in the '80s.

That is a great description of post-punk from AMG... I love Orange Juice. My swap partner is getting a rare b-side version of their song Poor Old Souls sung in French... This is a fun swap. I am happy to be part of it.
