This is an awesome site, I had used nuoemrus music from Jamendo they have it all. I like 80 s music specially New Wave, Synthpop, Punk Rock, Hard Rock Heavy Metal genres. They have artists that sounded like the artists from these genres of the 80 s. Just give them the proper credits links to their website you’re done.
