Check out our Sing Street-inspired '80s mini-site

Having wowed crowds at the Sundance film festival earlier this year, the buzz surrounding John Carney's new film Sing Street could scarcely be higher; in the latest issue of Hot Press, Olaf Tyaransen chats with its director, as well as the young cast who bring the story to life.

But merely enjoying the flick wasn’t enough for us – au contraire. Instead, we’ve turned back the clock and immersed ourselves fully in everything the decade had to offer. All the finest tunes and trends, films and TV shows, books, gigs and anything else you can imagine feature right here as we celebrate the very best of the 1980s.

We also look back on the ten years in Hot Press history, as classic covers, memorable photos, and some of the most iconic interviews and articles from the period are pulled from the archive and given their moment in the sun.

So what are you waiting for? Pull on those leg warmers, tease that mullet to perfection, and dive in - your trip back in time starts here.
