Description
This pair of Los Angeles-based bands takes two distinctly different approaches to video game music. Super MadNES goes hard, crafting shred-tastic heavy metal renditions of classic console and arcade scores. Deploying twin finger-tapping runs and twinkling synths, they rip through netherworldly scales at a blistering pace as they take on tunes from titles like RoboCop and Castlevania III. Extra Lives is no less technical, though they are more laid back. The quartet pays homage to the 1980s and '90s with jazzier renditions of songs from Super Mario World and Sonic the Hedgehog.
