One of the primary goals of We Own This Town is to dispel the myth that Nashville is only capable of a handful of musical styles. Our community is capable of a mind-boggling diverse amount of music and we want to ensure you’re aware of that.
Enter The Mad Gear, a band highly devoted to Video Game Music. This raging version of TMNT IV’s score to the “Technodrome” should be evidence enough of their devotion but they took it way further by collaborating with Brain Jar on their own game and soundtrack. The Mad Gear: Go Right and Fight! is a five-stage side scroller beat-em-up akin to Double Dragon, Final Fight and Ninja Gaiden. If all that is gibberish to you, just know that it’s a classic formula for button mashing and absurd scenarios.
The soundtrack is a high energy 8-bit chiptune undertaking that seems to stay true to the limited musical palette the old systems offered. There’s no bad track to start with but “Of Course He Has a Base on the Moon” will give your palette the taste it needs to decide if this is right for you.
