The Protomen.  What to say about them? 

They're mysterious, that much is for sure.  They also stole my megaphone.  That much is also for sure.  Beyond that, who can say--they use pseudonyms, wear costumes, and speak in musical parables about Dr. Light, robot hordes, and oppression.

While there are a few nods to the in-game music of Mega Man, most of their recorded work is closer to serious rock-opera rather than the 8-bit, chip-tune style of other videogame-inspired artists.  In fact, if you don't listen closely, you could easily miss the Mega Man influence entirely, and I say that in a good way. They treat Mega Man canon the way Conor Oberst treats his past relationships.  They also have one hell of a live show.  

What else is for sure is that they have a new album out, a lighthearted romp called Act II - The Father of Death.  Check out some of their previous work here, or a full track from the new album here.
