Have you seen the new RoboCop? Did you notice that they were happy enough to include some of the famous bits from the original theme? I did. I suspect 331ERock had already started work on this cover long before the remake hit the cinemas which means YouTube’s king of geek metal also had plenty of […]
Geeky music videos
Welcome to the Music category, where we turn up the volume on the sounds of geek culture. This is your destination for epic gaming soundtracks, synthwave scores, chiptune artists, and bands whose lyrics are inspired by our favourite fandoms. We celebrate the music that provides the backdrop to our adventures, from the sweeping orchestrations of a fantasy epic to the pulsing beats of a cyberpunk future.
We have a special appreciation for the visual side of music, and this section is always on the lookout for clever, creative, and unapologetically geeky music videos. If a song tells a story or an artist has a unique vision, you'll likely find their videos featured here. Tune in and discover your next geek anthem.

Cyberpunk RPG soundtracks kickstarter

We’re talking Shadowrun, […]

Where are you in the Console Wars? Xbox One, PlayStation 4, Wii U or none of the above? Yet. If you pop back to September of last year the Console Wars had fewer consoles and rather more music. This video from Lil Tommyj is a remix of musical console noises and sounds.
