About this album

Youthquake is Dead Or Alive’s defining synth-pop album and the record that turned the Liverpool band into international stars. Released in 1985, it fused sleek electronic production with Pete Burns’ theatrical vocals and a sharp dancefloor instinct, culminating in the global smash ‘You Spin Me Round (Like a Record)’. The album’s taut hooks and club-ready energy helped push hi-NRG and pop into the mainstream, while ‘My Heart Goes Bang’ and ‘Lover Come Back to Me’ reinforced its crossover appeal. As the group’s breakthrough, Youthquake remains a key snapshot of mid-1980s pop’s glossy, high-energy ambition.
