Phil Salvador chats with Brian Clark, author of Gameplay Harmonies, and Kevin Bunch, owner of Atari Archive, about the history of video game house bands. We cover the rise of bands like Sega Sound Team (SST) and Zuntata, the fall of house bands in the mid-90’s, and some modern examples of game music bands include Lotus Juice and The Primals.
