The Advantage
A guitar band!
(Kind of... from the website it appears they don't actually use guitars - just 3 synths and a drumkit, but still...)
Any group of musicians who name themselves 'The...' make most reasonable people inherently nervous nowadays, but don't worry, I haven't grown my hair or stopped washing. I couldn't let this pass - garage rock-style covers of nintendo tunes. Shows you how good those tracks were, as they translate into better tracks than the entire output of most of the genre's tantrum-prone self-important little starlets combined
The Metroid track sounds quite a bit like something Slint might have made
