Today, we have “chiptune” artists Monster!Monster!. I guess I probably need to tell a few people who read this what chiptunes are. Chiptunes are songs which are made from 8bit or 4bit sounds. This pretty much means you get the sounds from your old gameboy games, and make pretty decent, retro, elctronic, funny, rave beast. I think they are one of the best things in the world, however I could understand people who would hate them, probably so much so they would make a Facebook group against them. You can pretty much stereotype everyone who avidly listens to chiptune music: they like bright colours, they wear bright colours and really really like synths. I myself only just found out this was a genre at the beginning of this year, and have been trawling the internet to find worthy people to listen to, of which I have found a few but this post is about Monster!Monster!... maybe a later day...*tries to wink and blinks*
The group is made up of two people, Robbie Quid and another fella called James. They are from Worcester, so if you are from there and you haven't heard of them, then you are very dumb.... Check themout now. I'm posting two tracks which they said are available for free download so I don't think they will mind... I hope. Compared to other chiptuners, these guys are quite melodic, not quite so aggressive... very danceable... very danceable indeed.
1. Hold Me Close Beneath The Sunset
2. Circuitboard City....(i think :-s)
More songs can be found on their MYSPACE and on their 8bc (which has loads of really good chiptune artists on, they are kind of purist though) If you go on their myspace, they also have really cool t-shirts if your into your flourescent monsters. See yous... xx
