Welcome to the Uncharted Sounds Podcast. Formerly known as The Uncharted 80’s Podcast, we’ve expanded our horizons to bring you even more of the music you love.

The format stays the same as we deliver informative and hopefully captivating band biographies and exclusive interviews with the artists who shaped these decades of music that were often under the radar and may have been forgotten by some.

What they have in common in our view, is that their stories or their music has been uncharted. They may have left a lasting impact on some of us and it's time to celebrate them.

Get ready to uncover their history, sounds, information, what we think and untold stories. We will talk to those that were involved and the impact they had on us and still do! Same passion for music, broader horizons.
