Digadeesh

I was checking out Penny Arcade and I caught a link to a band called the Protomen.  If you’re a fan of Mega Man you really should check it out. 

Now I’ve heard a lot of remixes of old game music, and that is great.  I absolutely love the music from the games I used to play as a kid.  But this is something new to me.  This group is creating a sort of rock opera sound telling stories of Mega Man.

It’s kind of silly, because these games really had very simplistic and cheeseball stories.  But hearing this music brings back that epic feeling I used to create in my head when I played video games as a kid.

I recommend listening to “Hope Rides Alone”.  It’s great!
