French Instrumental Jazz Metal Quartet . After A First Experimental Project Including Armand Pablo Guitars And Mathieu Drums The Band Reborns In 2003 And Takes Its Actual Form With Ben's Joining Bass And A Fresh Synthetisers Use. They Start Composing And Working On What They Freely Name "Brutal Jazz" Instrumental Music Build On The Duality Between Free-Minded Approach From Jazz Mixed To Brutal Sounds And Constructions From Modern Metal . It Results A Unique Music Sounding Like Meshuggah And Weather Report With Dramatic Influence From Angelo Badalamenti . They Rename The Band 1980 After The First Album's Recording Sessions A Way To Remind The World They Was Born In The Social / Historical And Multimediatic Oppressive Mess Childhood In Shinning Southern France... Actually 1980 Is Working On New Material And A Second Album Should Be Recorded For The End 2009 . Link Www.Myspace.Com/1980theband www.Facebook.Com/pages/1980/48772885660
