Manage episode 421934542 series 3335355
[Episode 28] This month on barSILENCE we’re Fighting in the Streets of Wood Oak City as we listen to the legendary soundtracks of Streets of Rage and Streets of Rage 2 on the Sega Genesis.
These early '90s beat'em-ups set the standard for the genre with their stellar gameplay but even more so with their groundbreaking and innovative soundtracks!
Tune in and listen to knockout tunes from these iconic games and uncover some of the musical influences of the famed Yuzo Koshiro the mastermind behind one of gaming’s most beloved soundtracks!
Grab that ground chicken refill your health and let’s take on the evil Mr. X and save the city!
Special shoutout in this episode to Game Composer, Chase Bethea for talking with me about our shared love of Streets of Rage and Yuzo Koshiro as I worked on this episode!
