Hanging on a heart attack was a great song Device. I have it on my 80s playlist.
 
Device? Where were most of these 80s artists during the 80s?? There are so many on here that I never heard. Was I like asleep? 😂

A lot of artist didn’t make it in the U.S. back then hence why you feel this way. I was fortunate that I had the opportunity to visit my parent’s country practically every summer during the 80s and had the privilege to discover a lot of artists. Plus the internet and streaming music apps like Itunes was a game changer. Everything is at your fingertips. Now as for Device they had a few good tunes. My favorite song is Hanging on a Heart Attack.
