Easiest thing to do is find original recordings of 80's CHristian bands and refresh yourself with them. Petra, Stryper, WhiteCross, Larry Norman(remember the song "Why should the devil have all the good music?"), The Imperials. Youtube listings are endless.....why seek a modern group that plays retro sound when you have the availability of listening and enjoying the original?
That's a good question, I was trying to find some myself.. only found one. I posted in the following thread:
http://christianchat.com/christian-...y-80s-simply-80s-simply-80s-simply-80s-7.html
The band is called: More Power To Ya - 80s Christian band.
it's on post#129.
Hope u enjoy!
the 77's a great example of Christian rock from the 80's . .

i agree with pwrnJC; why look for a modern band trying to sound retro? not like there weren't any Christian musicians back in the actual 80's, and that music hasn't disappeared.

Definitely Stryper (I haven't gotten around to collecting their music yet (only youtube for me), but I know they are THE Christian band of that era, and I have been lucky enough to hear their music on a good old- fashioned LP)
Petra is also good, and well known
Narnia is a band I haven't heard enough of to be certain, but it seems they are very similar to Petra
PS: If you find one band you like, go to last.fm, look the band up, and click "similar artists"

Narnia played a sort of power metal that's similar to styles that started up in the 80's, which you can especially hear in the vocals, but they actually didn't become a band until the mid 90's. i'd say they are more 'technical' than Petra was..
if you like this sort of music, the singer German Pascual (during later years of Narnia) has been involved in a number of Christian rock bands (Golden Resurrection, Mind's Eye, also solo albums) you should look into, all with the same style & really accomplished guitar-playing.
