8-bit music! Yes! We have a band in the town where I live called Fake Brad who plays with Gameboys during his live sets, and that totally turned me on to the idea of 8-bit music. Awkward Terrible vs. The Glowing Stars is a lot like that. This band is awesome. Check them out live or go listen to them on Bandcamp if you want.

There’s a Vampire Weekend song called Horchata. This album is called Horchata, and I like it a lot more than Vampire Weekend. Excellent work, Awkward Terrible vs. The Glowing Stars.

Whoa! Words came in on “Mainframe” and totally blew my mind. It’s great! If I put this in my car, I think I could listen to it on repeat for probably a hundred times before I got tired of it.

8-bit rock is so ver underappreciated. Maybe not in San Francisco, but definitely in Knoxville and Nashville. Despite how much I loved “Mainframe”, I think “Nichols D. Wolfwood” is my favorite track on the album. It’s got so much interesting stuff going on.

Be sure to go listen to this band. 8-bit needs more support, and this is a really good place to start getting on the game train. These songs are good and fun, and you would probably love to turn them way up, turn the lights out, and dance around your room for the entire length of the four track album “Horchata”. Awkward Terrible vs. The Glowing Stars is really good 8-bit rock.
