As a long time fan of the FIFA series by EA, I wanted to talk about all the great music they've brought to the masses. This video game franchise has been awesome at introducing a huge population to indie bands that might have gone unnoticed. I know people that would've never encountered that genre of music if it wasn't for FIFA games. Here's a quick crashcourse through all the great music that has been in FIFA games in the past years. Just in time for FIFA 13 which comes out Tuesday.
"Wolves" by Good Natured was on the load screen on FIFA 12 if I remember right. Anyhow, the song is damn good and stuck in a lot of game players heads by now.
"Gold Gun Girls" by Metric was a main stay in FIFA 10. This song will bring back memories for anyone that's played that game. I think it was on all the load screens. Great song either way.
"Not In Love" by Crystal Castles featuring Robert Smith was one of my personal favorites from the game. I had the CD but didn't have the version with Robert Smith singing. I had to hunt this track down as a single. Well worth it. One of my favorite Smith songs from the last decade.
"Panda" by Astro is one of the new tracks that will blitz our ears in FIFA 13. Didn't know much about them but playing the new demo got me to seek them out. Hats off to the music supervisors for the FIFA games.
