The Advantage created an album of cover songs - the themes to classic video games. Not in their previous 8 bit chip music state, but with real intruments like guitars and drums. Now they're going on tour to bring those sounds to you.
They're touring in support of their album Elf-titled, which came out earlier this year on the experimental imprint of the Kill Rock Stars label, called 5RC. On Elf-titled, they roll through 16 tracks of music that fueled the backdrop of games like Double Dragon, Batman, and Contra.
