I decided to throw you all a curve ball today. I love gaming, and I love the influence it has on things other than that medium. Such as music. I found out about this band recently and I'm digging them a lot. Before I say anything else, they are definitely busting the indie vibe, but the awesome thing is they use chiptune as some of their background music. It's full on instrumentation with guitars/drums/vocals but with the chiptune sound as sort of an effect. For those of you who don't know...the chiptune style basically mimics 8-bit gaming music from days of yore and allows people to make some pretty impressive sounding stuff using the on-board sound chip of a Game Boy or NES.
I recommend starting here at In Her Gentle Jaws. It's greatness. After that you can dive into their newly released album called Spirit Youth.
Definitely pick them up at Amazon. They have Vinyl!
Buy at Amazon: [In Her Gentle Jaws, Spirit Youth]
