"80s kids is heartfelt, delivered with love, and a pleasure to listen to — especially for a person such as myself, who reacts with suspicion toward artists doing cover versions of songs that occupy the soft and sentimental portion of my nostalgic heart. No such reservations here. Every song has depth and power, and enters the realm of a marvelous homage." — John O'Neil, Record Exchange Boise

"Curtis revisits classics from the 1980s, giving them a lush and neon-bright synthpop makeover." — Bandcamp

"An evening with 80s kids delivers exactly what you'd hope for: two world-class performers flawlessly resurrecting the anthems of a generation, with sonic mastery and electrifying energy. But I think my biggest takeaway from 80s kids was that I did not expect it to have such an emotional impact! I was honestly surprised by how much the storytelling aspect resonated with me. The tagline "80s music can save us" isn't just clever; it's the very heart and soul of what 80s kids represents. If you are able to see them perform, absolutely do not miss that opportunity!" — Kris Kataoka, Artistic Director, Curtis Theater, Brea, CA

"Going to see 80s kids is like stepping into a time machine. Not just to the 1980s, but, even more powerfully, to a time where everyone in the audience is free from all the noise, chaos, and drama of everyday life. Shannon and Jamie’s chemistry is infectious, the stories are funny and moving, the projections are a great vibe, and the music reminds you just how powerful and uniting a great song can be. The whole audience danced, sang, and experienced maximum joy for 90 straight minutes. Also, they have kickass merch. I can't wait to see it again on our stage next year." — Kevin Shimko, Director, Lewis Family Playhouse, Rancho Cucamonga, CA

"Shannon Curtis weaves together a diverse slice of the 1980s in a way that makes total sense to me as a critical 80s nerd. I love it." — Marq Manner, Homer's Records, Omaha

“There’s never a wrong time for classic 80s synthpop. And Shannon Curtis was meant to reunite us with these amazing songs! My Gen X heart is in love!” — Shawn Cephas, Forever Changes Records, Phoenixville, PA

"Creative, fresh, and flowy — a record your player will love to spin." — Kenneth Tomkins, Seattle Records

“From a diehard 90s kid that sometimes enjoys an 80s dance party, this album is a reminder of the joy that can be found in those simpler (and more neon colored) times. What a fun LP.” — Jesse Pace, Rogue Planet Music, Des Moines
