8-bit rock

[anoyomouse]

Well, just thought i'd ask people if they ahve listened to 8-bit rock, or 8-bit tunes, as well as chiptunes AKA NES music

i found some artists who are worth following:
Anamanaguchi
Souleye

some other places to see are the HVSC
High Voltage SID Collection
and of course the player -> Sidplay2/w
(for linux people, there is sidplay2 - find it yourself using google )

For those that appreciate the harder side of rock HORSE the Band are worth checking out as the originators of the term Nintendocore. There is also Iamerror who has all of his recordings up for free all over the web.

There are a few other bands such as Iwrestledabearonce, Genghis Tron, I Set My Friends On Fire and a few others that I can't name right now that also make use of 8 bit and old school nintendo style electronica in their own particular brand of metal/hardcore/grindcore etc.

For those that like a more power metal sound there is Machinae Supremacy who do have a lot of their recordings up on their website
