Who would have believed that the blippy background music of our favorite NES games would ever later reemerge as the music we listen to 20 years later, sans the 8-bit games? The four guys in Anamanaguchi, are bringin’ it back with by the addition of some punk infused drums and guitars in association with the extracted sound effects of a hacked 1985 Nintendo Entertainment System. Doing so they have tapped that fountain of our youth to come up with some hyper-catchy tunes.
It makes me think that if I hadn’t been forced to “go outside and play,” instead of sitting two inches from my TV playing Paperboy and drinking orange soda for hours I could be doing making awesome music like this. Thanks mom >:P
All the songs are really fun to listen to and I bet they give a great show. It does get a little repetitive after a while though and makes me start scratching my head wondering where the hell I put my old Nintendo at. Dammit I need to play it now!
