= September 87 =

September 87 is an Australian synthwave band, consisting of members James Ballard and Will Ewing. The band touts itself as an "interstellar synthwave duo" and features heavy 1980s stylization in their music and accompanying music videos.

Musical Influence
In 2015, Ballard stated, "I was brought up on metal and I reckon some of that vibe has rubbed off on my music now," in regards to the recent release of the Act 1 EP.

Music Videos
The duo has released two music videos for their singles "Bad Dream Baby" and "Lightyears." Both videos feature Ballard and Ewing, as well as the character of Sonny the Bandroid, an android with a loudspeaker for a head, who plays instruments alongside the duo.

The music videos, set in the year 2087, show Ballard and Ewing's "trying to make it in a band in space."

The duo plans to release an accompanying music video with each future single. In a post on the group's social media channels, Ballard wrote, "Each [single] with a fresh, out of this world video. We’ve kind of made a rod for our own back by aiming to accompany each song with a clip..." In the same post, the group announced that they were working on developing a TV series based around the project.
