I was browsing Penny Arcade tonight and followed a link to a demo song by a band called the Protomen. Apparently they are a concept band based on retelling the Mega Man story.
From the ProtoMen’s website:
“Breaking Out” is the working title. Its scheduled to be the opening track for side II of Act II (our upcoming sophomoric release). It debuts the second of the two themes of the album; the counterpoint to the whole of side 1. If side one is a Spaghetti Western gone Robocop, then side two is Streets of Fire gone Logan’s Run. A dirty 1980s future where Spandex is tough and an alleyway knife fight is the only justice a man needs. We hope Steinman will be proud.
This stuff is a riot. I gotta love that all of us kids who played Mega Man in the 80s have grown up and become talented and creative. Check out The Protomen.
