Artist Spotlight: 7bit Hero

For this Friday's edition of Artist Spotlight to wrap up the week, we fly over to Brisbane, Australia and uncover the electro infused sounds of 7bit Hero. The trio consists of Hans van Vliet, Richie Young, and Phil Evans. The group's music is largely inspired by video game effects from the 80's presented in an electronic based music format that is largely melodic in nature and contains sonic drifts that pile up as the music progresses. I had a blast listening to these guys, and it took me back to when I was kid playing Nintendo, and the music reminded me of all those times playing video games with my friends and the great times I had while doing it. The vocals add an air of authenticity that leads to a fun and worthwhile listening experience that only gets better with each repeated listen. A great upstart act that is getting ready to make that next jump on the road to success. Some recommended songs for you to have a listen at include "Come on. Stand out." and "Side Quest".
