(80's?) movie of a high school student that has a pirate radio?

Pump Up the Volume with Christian Slater?

Thanks! @Pied_Pfeffer that’s exactly it ;)

The female lead Samantha Mathis also starred in Broken Arrow with Slater.

That was an excellent movie and i think it was underrated.

I still have the soundtrack to that movie on cassette.

@Blondesjon I have it on CD and some tracks still make it to my iphone.

That movie had the best soundrack ever—except they had a crappy Concrete blonde cover of “Everybody knows” rather than the Leonard Cohen one—the one that he played at the beginning of every show AND was the original version. Still a great soundrack.

Oh when i read this i was thinking of the movie “Pirate Radio”. still, both are great movies

I haven’t seen that movie in over a decade, but it really stuck with me. Here are some songs I remember that never made the soundtrack.

Love Comes in Spurts—Richard Hell (I can only find the Heartbreakers—I have his Voivods version but can’t find it online)
