The Advantage - Nintendo covers, plain and simple. I think I still prefer The Minibosses for this kind of thing, but these guys are good, too.
Envy - Basically a guy screaming in Japanese in front of guitars and drums. Awesome.
Final Fantasy - Like Sufjan Stevens, if instead of writing about US states, he was writing about D&D and nymphs and crap like that. Yep, the band is named after the game, and it's pretty much just one guy: Owen, who played violin for Arcade Fire.
Chromelodeon - 8-piece band playing video game-inspired orchestral instrumental fantasy metal. And how can that be anything less than totally awesome? In fact, it cannot.
Be Your Own Pet - Pretty awesome experimental indie punk rock band recently embraced by Sonic Youth.
Muse - Epic fantasy metal with a vaguely Mars Volta-ish sound to it. Cheesy sometimes, but the kind of cheesy I like. Mozzarella!
Goblin Cock - Yeah, you heard me! They're metal. Metal!!!
The Format - Pleasant indie pop.
Oh, and it turns out Bare Naked Ladies really pretty much suck, apart from that one hit they had that one time. Huh. |
