Finally got around to watching the first episode of Stranger Things. I'm hooked. I knew about the band survive and them doing most of the shows music, and even heard a moment of the music outside the show, but I had been pretty much writing them off as zombi lite. Then I watched the show, and the music clicked better.

Anyone else check this shit out?

I saw them a couple months ago, but I mostly went because Tony from Zombi was opening (as Majeure). They were solid. They didn't blow me away or anything, but that TV show definitely helped them out because they sold out a decent sized venue here in under two days.

I bought the CD and finally put it in my car last week, but I was only on like the third song before the snowstorm hit and I haven't driven since. I wouldn't say they're aping Zombi. They're way more Vangelis-y or soundtracky than that. I can't really box Zombi into a specific genre, as they definitely share as much with RUSH as they do John Carpenter/GOBLIN. Way more of a rock experience than SURVIVE. I actually got kind of bored watching SURVIVE. Their show was fairly redundant.
