Arm Cannon = Metal + Classic Gaming

by David Spira

Instrumental music (acoustic or electric) is my personal preference for work time for all of the reasons your would assume. I’ve been working a ton lately, so I’ve been listening to a lot of instrumental artists ranging from Bela Fleck, to Rodrigo y Gabriela & Jake Shimabukuro. On the geekier side, I’ve also discovered an awesome band called Arm Cannon.

Arm Cannon takes their name from Mega Man’s primary weapon, they combine metal and classic 8 & 16 bit music in creative and fun ways. There’re a lot of bands out there that do this, but Arm Cannon is my new favorite.

If you like that, consider checking out two albums; they’ve got a lot of great music.

In other news, I was off the blogging wagon for a while, but I’m back on.

    It really sounded like a game soundtrack. It also sounded a bit like the Allman Brothers with the guitar duo.

    They have a lot of depth. Their second album has some songs that are more jazz than anything else.
